We've always been afraid of big brother watching everything we do; sooner or later we will be more terrified of a thousand little brothers watching us from every angle. Look at the gamergate controversy and how people are being harassed for speaking their mind. As the tools that make that possible become more accessible and widespread, we'll see more and more of it. You don't like a coworker; do a quick snoop and find out something embarrassing or incriminating and spread it around.
