Imagine that tiny invisible flying nanobots equipped with cameras exist and are cheaply available to anyone. Privacy is effectively a thing of the past, since anyone can be spied on at any time without their knowledge.
Will we modify our private behavior to not do anything we wouldn’t want other people to know about, or will we just stop caring that other people know about it?

So…umm…do you have some information the rest of us don’t have? Or, are you just paranoid?

It’ll inevitably happen that those nanobots exist, as technology advances, they don’t break any physical laws.
Probably we’ll have little anti-nanobot nanobots though too, so celebrities who want privacy will have billions strong nanoscale dogfights between bots around them like dust in the air.
