I thought this article was going to be about what people do when they assume their devices are compromised and yet realize it is too difficult to rebuild everything (which will just get compromised again, or the devices are compromised by design) so they alter their behavior to deal with the knowledge that the devices are compromised. So that would mean not keeping your most important secrets on any device and altering your behavior on all devices, assuming that communications are being viewed by someone, assuming location tracking is happening when your phone is on, and so on, which leads to some rational adjustments to your behavior. I think we're already there for anyone who has been paying attention (do you take your fitness tracker off when having sex? Do you try to manage when location services are turned on?). It's been called "the chilling effect" when applied to free speech. Maybe we need a new term for this kind of behavior effect applied to behavior on devices? I'd guess that one effect is reduced productivity in all digital aspects of life because people can't take full advantage of their digitally enhanced lives. Another would be an increased level of chronic stress due to worrying about being tracked (which everyone knows is ubiquitous. Maybe that should be the new name for IoT, "Ubiquitous Tracking". It all started with the "mother of all demos".)
