It won't be this year, or next, but fairly soon these laws are going to implicitly restrict people who are using Neuralink 2030 from opening their eyes.
We're living in the gold ages before everything we do within eyeshot of anyone is recorded like that Black Mirror episode anyone can review/share anything they've seen with their own eyes.
And it's going to be very interesting, to say the least. This facial recognition war is just the start of our attempt to engineer ethics for the new era.
I mean, just imagine how sex will be different in this world.

I very much doubt that. Just because it may be technically possible to some degree at some point doesn’t mean that anyone would be interested in it. It’s technically possible today to wear a mic and record everything you hear and say for your entire life, but no one does that, and most people would find anyone that did very weird.

I suspect that is largely due to technical limitations. Devices only recently became small enough, and battery life would still be a limiting factor for (say) your phone meaning you would need to carry a second device. Then there's the issue with placement - modern microphones still don't seem to work when obstructed by (for example) your pocket.
Contrast this with the (hypothetical) option to record everything using your phone, without meaningfully impacting its battery life, while it was still in your pocket. I think most people would actually opt to do that, even if it was technically illegal in their jurisdiction. There's just not really any downside and a whole bunch of potential upsides from the perspective of an individual.

I think we have fundamentally different views on what non-tech people look for out of technology, because I definitely disagree that “most people” would want to do that.
