The video release by the FBI in the Guthrie case proved definitively that every device equipped with a camera or microphone and a wireless connection is spying on you, and not only that, feeding the data into government databases without a warrant or any meaningful oversight.

This means to protect yourself you have to secure your devices as best you can or simply keep them locked away. There's nothing you can do about the bazillion cameras your neighbors have set up, though some eyeglass retailers sell lenses coated to foil AI face scanning. (Zenni is one.)
