Would be less of an issue if everything wasn't uploaded and analyzed by Meta, which will eventually be handed over to the feds and advertisers. If everything was done locally and not uploaded, there's still the problem of it being like a "spy" cam. Lights can always be taped or painted over. There's already been cases of people doing stuff like going to massage parlors and uploading the videos. There's been reports of Meta employees and contractors having to analyze videos of people using the restroom, dressing/undressing, having sex (I assume these people didn't realize they were recording, or they didn't realize others would be able watch).
