I personally see a big difference between the reliability of the software enforcing the opt-in/opt-out, and the reliability of young humans hired cheaply to label video clips that were opted-in for sharing, who then see something salacious in the clip and can’t resist copying it. I assume this happens universally with all these cloud connected microphones and camera products.

My general approach is I can trust that the data is not being exfiltrated from my device/car/network if I have configured it not to be uploaded to the cloud.

But if agree to share the clips and have them viewed by humans, then I certainly expect those humans to look at them, and yes potentially even laugh at them.

I see your point, but for me they both speak to a culture that has no respect for their customer.
