It's even worse in Europe from what I can tell. The shift took me by surprise, but a decade or so a go I noticed people around me were becoming increasingly authoritarian and pro-surveillance. Today I'm in a very clear minority today and I think for now that trend will only continue. |

Whether by accident or design, the "smartphone" (package of sensors) manufacturing revolution made surveillance cheap and pervasive. Those atop a wealthy hill of deregulated inequality may be attracted to a mirage of tech-enabled control, powered by harvested signals and McKinsey dashboards. But all observations affect the observer, so observe.. wisely.
