Privacy doesn't have to be a binary, GP probably expected a modicum of it in that they assumed their conversations could be heard by their neighbours should they be listening in at the time, but is uncomfortable at the idea of a digital record of each audible outdoor conversation being kept in perpetuity, that the neighbours and any third parties with access the footage could use against them if their relationship went sour (which it now seems it has...). The "expectation of privacy" argument should really only be used when discussing whether recording should be legal, not when determining whether someone is a jackass according to social norms.

You got it. I'm on my front porch, and clearly anyone on the street walking by could hear me. But to know that it's possible to record my entire conversation is creepy.

I've learned my lesson and now invite people to our backyard, which is free of any cameras.
