unfortunately the cat is way out of the bag at this point, you can imagine that this system only has a fraction of what government, military and intelligence databases have as well, since they include all kinds of data from the millions of CCTVs they have everywhere

i think there is a good justification for building a device that lets you nuke every CCD around you, with a sensor that alerts you that one is looking at you so you can nuke them

this is a very hostile environment, having spies everywhere like this, it's like fantasy novels bad guys crows and flies and stuff - and you probably have heard the "birds are not real" stories, well of course most of them are but i totally can believe that they have got spies in forms that appear to be animals and insects by now 

 Right. The government agencies already have similar tools. What makes this different and worse is that it's normalizing it in a fun and frictionless way via an app. 

 in other words, this company is almost certainly bankrolled by intelligence agencies as propaganda agents 

 Anything is possible. 

 Even if it isn't it may have employees with "special interests". 

 The gov't just buys, requisitions or scrapes everything they can from private providers, since the standard today is that anything is available for a buck.

And once it's stored on a RAID in a bureau office or datacenter somewhere, it's never ever going away.
