I forgot to add to the devices that invade your privacy

-The upcoming wave of "smart" appliances
-Your "smart" electrical meter that can tell what appliances you use and when. Can determine if your home is occupied or not. Transmits and exposes occupants to potentially hundreds of times the EMF generated during a phone call. This is escpecially a problem if you live in an apartment building for example and the smart meter closet that contains dozens of smart meters is on the other side of your bedroom wall. Not good.
-Your game console with it's built in camera you can't turn off (xbox)
-The new "smart" tv sets that connect the the network
-Your cable box
-Again, almost any device that connects to any network. Even that old GPS gets connected when you "update" it. Here "Update" means perhaps some small minor changes to the maps plus uploading everywhere you have driven with the GPS device.
