Not arguing with your points (we agree), but regarding my comment about literacy (not the poster who responded):

I was implying that one needs a basic level of tech literacy to even think about cameras as always being on. (As evidenced by the OP, and the poster who replied to me)

As WE know, "I shut off the camera" does not mean the camera is not recording, and "I shut off the WIFI" does not mean the data is secure. Some do not know this.
