Here's something I've been thinking a lot about recently. When people inevitably get technological implants to record vision and things of the like...what happens if there are privacy policy changes?

Iphones are pretty much already embedded enhancements. Ever tried to get someone off one? I hope you have seen Ghost in the Machine.
@krock I think while people are tied to iPhones, it's such a different situation. An iPhone, while it does store almost everything, they're making steps towards better and more acceptable privacy practices. With let's say a vision implant that records whatever you see, if you get it when the privacy policy says it doesn't store anything, then it changes to share recordings with Tencent or Facebook, what do you do? You can't just throw it away like a phone, so where does that leave you?
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat I think this highlights the necessity of legislation that truly protects privacy for individuals and the collective. If companies change the privacy policy on permanent or semi-permanent enhancements to ourselves, we are screwed. Until such guarantees are in place, I am very careful about what I install onto myself, be it HW, SW, or carbon based.
