I actually completely agree with this.
A lot of our historical privacy has been based on practicality. We don't worry about someone monitoring us all the time in public because it would be expensive and exhausting to follow us around all the time, and there is no way to follow everyone.
Computers change this. Computers are great at doing repetitive, boring, tasks forever. A person couldn't watch every camera 24 hours a day, but a computer can.

It is absolutely something we should think about.
