Many of us DO have an issue with parcel media, and only turn it on  
when we have a specific reason to do so. Parcel media is already being  
used, routinely, to track people... both by griefer groups and by  
vigilantes to monitor IP addresses and flag potential alts for things  
like resident-operated per-IP parcel bans. But at least they're  
limited, if you don't visit a parcel run by a W-Hat (or whoever else  
is doing this) AND turn your media stream on there's nothing to worry  
about. Decoupling this from parcels opens up a MUCH greater  
opportunity for mischief.
