or have cameras in your own house monitoring your every move. like that dropout/collegehumor skit, where republicans have cameras in every move to monitor as a "thought" police.
you already have that: your TV, your tablet, your securiy camera, your baby monitor, your doorbell, your neighbor's doorell, your goddamn router from the ISP. your phone.
the game ended when Elon Musk got Trump the votes he needed. there is no freedom any more. all we can do is resist until they disappear us.
Remember the stories about how wifi does a good job of telling where people are in the house? They might already be on that way.

That is just the start. Next: they want predictive AI to predict every aspect of your life.
After that, they will figure out how to manipulate the WiFi, to control your behavior subtly.
