However, this particular company took things to a whole new level: a Strava-type *social network* on which one can not only upload their own activities for leaderboards, *but also download midi-like sequences from other Bluetooth vibrator users*.

Perhaps this is the only way to defuse surveillance in the post-Snowden world: everyone acts so outrageous that the only people who want to hide actually have nothing (unusual) to hide.

I do not know that there is a substantive difference between now and the past.

In the past (vague term) there have always been a non-zero population of exhibitionists. 

The only difference is that, maybe now, social media allows them to embarrass themselves sooner?
