What's hidden on your hard drive? Someone knows Is someone's government spying on you . Who would have ever thought that some code on the drives OS had a little extra hook in it .. Is the code embedded on a chip ? I bet it is and a regular Anti Virus company couldn't find it without special 'equipment' .. I personally have nothing to hide but .....
Those really old 25 mb hard drives are looking better especially if you do online banking and doing financial things on a mobile phone is not a good thing if not worse .
Look what a major electronics company finally admitted about their TV 'listening' to voice commands (and other things spoken) .

OMG : I am a conspiracy theorist . No , not me .

Well you'd need some sources or better explanation about what you are talking about. I understand what you are trying to convey but just...read the way you phrased it out loud.

the real question is why would i care?
not being offensive but surely the only people who should and would care are people with stuff to hide?
if it's only being used for major crimes (such as murder, terrorism, child abuse etc) then i would safely say i'd support such technology, anything less than that is just a waste of money though i guess - someone still needs to filter through all that information after all.
