Is this for the people they want to track or any random person? I mean do they specifically have to try to track you or are you saying everyone is being tracked.

I would hate that job. Especially watching people through their home devices.

People aren't tracking you directly through these methods. They simply collect the information, correlate it to other information they have or have purchased and build a more complete profile of your activities. That correlated data is then useful for searching specific data points when they want to target an individual or smaller group. It's far more efficient to have a well curated and correlated data set than to simply watch you through a web cam or listen in on a microphone. You are the product. You will always be tracked, targeted and analyzed for profit or control. Just being on the internet is all that it takes to be caught up in this net.
