What about when you go to the stores & supermarket and there are facial recognition cameras everywhere, cameras on the self-checkers, bodycams on the staff, little cameras on the card and payment machines. Cameras in public toilets. Surveillance cameras all the way along the roads, drones following you along the highway, everywhere along the street/footpath, on advertising billboards that profile as you approach and gives you an appropriate ad for sex, age etc.. Facial rec on public transport? cctv on the outside of people's houses, doorbell cams. What about when they want your biometrics (retina, thumb print, or voice) to pay for something and so much more I've forgotten.
These are all a reality right now. It's at the point where if someone wants to try to avoid it they will just have to not leave the house at all. It's not just a case of not going into a specific shop, cafe or place, it's ubiquitous.
