Surveillance induced morality: relics of cultural retardation.

Suspicionless surveillance does not become okay simply because it's only victimizing 95% of the world instead of 100%.

When you try to grasp the way the Western world is going, you see that we are on a ratchet towards a surveillance state, which is coming to include the whole population in its surveillance. This is our reward for accepting the restraints on the way we live now.

With technology tracking us everywhere we go, 'cosplay' might become our best defense against surveillance.

Laws and regulations are supposed to restrict the kind of surveillance governments do. In fact, the U.S. government is quite restricted in what kind of surveillance they can do on U.S. citizens. The problem is that 96 percent of the planet is not U.S. citizens.

If surveillance infiltrates our homes and personal relationships, that is a gross breach of our human and civil rights.

The Orwellian vision was about state-sponsored surveillance. Now it's not just the state, it's your nosy neighbor, your ex-spouse and people who want to spam you.

Openness and participation are antidotes to surveillance and control.

As a rule, governments monitor people.
