It's already a remotely accessible camera and mic one carries at all times*! How could it get worse? The main thing limiting it is slow mobile data!

Wait a minute…

5G •_• .

* Only remotely accessible if one uses compromised software/firmware. Proprietary software/hardware/firmware is likely to be compromised, as it is closed source, therefore allows this to be hidden, and both governments and corporations have been observed to do these things in the past. The main thing stopping many corporations from recording people 24/7 is battery and data usage, again, getting back to the main point: 5G lifts the data limit.

I don't have any of the tech articles right on me, but they're building phones that have all sorts of sensor detecting equipment. The cameras on there own can be covered, but on that thought, I really wouldn't be surprised for the govt to have an active 3d modeling AI that can use all cameras in a given area to create a 3d walking animation.

1984 is here! muhahahaha
