Online Privacy Should Be Modeled on Real-World Privacy

Eh dutch railways (NS) billboards had/have cameras in them that are checking if you're looking https://tweakers.net/nieuws/129181/ap-gaat-ns-vragen-stellen-over-reclameschermen-met-cameras-op-stations.html using this https://quividi.com/products-services/ wikipedia lists some other organizations doing similar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audience_measurement#New_media

Looks like it's _basically_ pretty limited in the Netherlands https://tweakers.net/nieuws/140231/ap-observeren-voorbijgangers-met-camera-in-reclamezuil-vergt-vaak-toestemming.html
