Standing up for your rights isn't convenient, but it has to be done. Those that engineer this shit know that and make it as convoluted they can for this exact reason.
Always be on guard against those who would make you give up your rights voluntarily while giving up none of their own.
I understand what you're saying, but if you've ever uploaded a picture or video of yourself to the Internet, they already had enough for surveillance.
A lot of people don't care that much and opting out is your right if you do care.
