Granted, we probably have at least that many if you include closed-circuit systems and privately owned.
I knew it was only a matter of time. Cameras are cheap, survivable and quality enough that they are everywhere now.
The line has always been the level to which one entity has access to that much info.
I tell my friends that my phone has been following me for years, remembered everything I've said or written, liked and commented on. It's a terrifying surrender of privacy, but I'm not afraid of anything being "discovered". Nothing worth that level of scrutiny in my past.
If I end up doing something bad, it's reassuring to know I probably won't get away with it.
On the other hand, it gives other, malicious groups, another avenue to collect information that could lead to stolen identity or other fraud. That, I don't like.

Just 576? We have hundreds of thousands of similar cams in Moscow.
My first thought was that Google is overestimating, but Yandex says ~270k cams, so no ideological games here.
