GP's point is that the user willingly brought the device, willingly let it record their lives, and willingly shared that data with a third party.

If I wear a T-shirt with my root password on it, then I deserve every bad thing that's coming to me. It's not my OS' fault nor my T-shirt's fault; I only have my own stupidity to blame.

I see your point. Suppose two kids from one of the lost tribes establish their own medium of change that's fully backed by gold. I certainly would not know about such thing because they have no contact with the outside world.

But their new medium of change cannot be called a "currency", since "currency" is defined as a generally accepted medium of exchange. If no one outside of the lost tribe even recognizes the new medium, then obviously it's not generally accepted.
