Agree - basically tech that can see what people do, is creepy. and as you suggest - others can engage, but we don't control that.

Currently, it's somewhat obvious, but what happens when the tech is totally invisible?

That day is coming very soon, within a decade, max, and you have to imagine every thing you ever do, in any place - even in the dark, is recorded.

Arthur C Clarke, and Stephen Baxter wrote a book about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Light_of_Other_Days

Well worth reading, imho, but it does explicitely ignore the concept of a higher presence, which is noteworthy
