We should focus on what we as technologists and developers can do. There are features that can mitigate the potential for abuse in IoT devices, and we are the ones who have to care enough to make these features exist. Things as simple as clearly labelled and positioned reset buttons, or more advanced features like access monitoring (even physical lights or indicators that show remote access or surveillance) are all things that can help with this problem. We can't stop people from being abusive, but we can stop them from abusing the things we make.
