I think that software engineers need to start strongly considering a professional organization/association akin to Drs and Lawyers.

Do you think that other professionals would put up with this shit? Absolutely not.

There’s also the matter of an association binding its members by a professional code of ethics. The software engineers who are tasked with building systems like these need to stand up and say no when asked to do. These systems will make life worse for you, your coworkers, and society.

Stop trading your conscience for cash.

Lots of them do?

>> very employee at JPMC has a profile in the WADU database.

This, allegedly, isnt just for swes. JPMC has legal staff who would be, "putting up with this shit" as well as other countless employees in other orgs who would have the same type of monitoring.

If anything engineers are technical enough to at least know their work computer is being monitored. Many employees dont even know that IT can likely access their computer at any time.

I guess I should have clarified, not put up with being monitored but, more to my second paragraph, be so willing and eager (maybe even write a fun technical blog about it) to construct cages for themselves and others.
