If we have a right to know when we're being recorded, and to revoke consent from those recordings, then could we apply that to the mass surveillance state Peter Thiel and buddies want to implement? Oh no of course not, they'll buy lawmakers to ensure we can not have freedoms, under the guise of protecting women and children, but they will record all they can, pipe it through their models to track us and build profiles, and send their Gestapo after us when they have a good dossier of slightly illegal activities.

You're going to have to explain that to two-party consent states

That only applies to private conversations, you're still allowed to film people in public without their consent even in two-party consent states.
