I believe that it is fundamentally not possible to roll back the degree of surveillance in our global society in an effective way. Our technology is already converging to a near-total degree of surveillance all on its own. The end limit will be Vinge's "locator dust" or perhaps something even more ubiquitous and ephemeral.

I believe the true horror of technological omniscience is that it'll force us for once to live according to our own rules. For the first time in history we'll have to do without hypocrisy and privilege. We're going to learn what explicit rules we can actually live by, finding, in effect, the real shape of human society.
