Answers.Text: Good point Carly! We start having many questions and we should start making links between each of them indeed. I actually missed this question, so thanks! As SE usually works, I believe that this should go as a comment under the question. In SE, I often see comments e.g. : "related: LINK_to_related_question"

  What overlap (if any) do these concerns have with other "ubiquitous monitoring" (cell phones, smart TVs, digital assistants, etc.)
  
  Any good readings that survey ethical concerns of these topics?
