I cast Projection!
To be my antiauthoritarianism and antisurvlence is motivated by wanting to protect futurw children. No police state has reduced more harm than it causes.
If criminals can't hide anymore they'll eventually stop hiding and that will bring much worse problems.
The same goes for heavy prison sentences. The harder they are, the more dangerous people become if they're already going to jail anyways.
So basically, all governments want more surveillance, almost no citizens want surveillance
How do we fix this? How can we ensure that, as citizens of any country, we can stop out government from slowly turning ball societies into surveillance states?
Late reply, but I believe a LOT of people want surveillance. In my city the facial recognition thing is one of the main campaign talking points of the current mayor...
Nobody wants surveillance
Everybody's told that surveillance is good. It's not, of course, but keep telling people that green is blue and they'll start believing you
Yet masses of people are voluntarily paying good money to have corporate spy cameras and listening devices installed in their homes.
Devices that can (and have) leak personal information to both criminals (in the traditional sense) and government agencies.

This makes me want kms
Never KYS for something that's somebody else's fault.
First rule of KYS
you're right but at the same time 24/7 surveillance is a terrible kind of torture and I totally get how it's too much to endure long-term. considering this is still just the beginning of big surveillance
Americans are thoroughly brainwashed that if they film criminals, they will get justice for their crimes. It’s working “so well” countercountersurveillance tactics are being employed.
I surmised they will never get authoritarian brainwashing undone.
