I was shocked when I read this article:
Google developing eavesdropping software
It seems that besides the the legistration some government implement to “protect” us against terrorist:
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Benjamin Franklin
Now companies like google are working on eardropping tools too:
The first thing that came out of our mouths when we heard that Google is working on a system that listens to what’s on your TV playing in the background, and then serves you relevant adverts, was “that’s cool, but dangerous”.
The idea appeared in Technology Review citing Peter Norvig, director of research at Google, who says these ideas will show up eventually in real Google products – sooner rather than later.

Forget this quote:
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
