In the “Eye in the Sky” podcast, one of the speakers on the topic deplores the idea of such an invasion of privacy saying, “There [is] no way you could trust government with this volume of information.” In making this comment, the speaker urges us to reevaluate the ramifications of this advanced technology and the amount of faith we have in the intentions of those who intend to use it.

Kate Murphy further argues the more invisible effects of lack of privacy, including conformity and the stifling of individuality causing depression, anxiety, and the like.
