Do *I* need to know that? Shouldn't that be something very important for the people PROMOTING the idea?
So you are furious and need understanding and carefulness around how dangerous surveillance is?
I mean, the technocratic saviours are selling this as 'good'...while ignoring that increasing surveillance is bad. If they are really concerned about state power they would be careful to not play into the state's hands.
