People want drugs and it taps into the them on a basic and biological level. Surveillance and lack of privacy has no such addictive traits, except perhaps for cops, exhibitionists, and fascist government types.
Drugs are deeply rooted in culture and humans are drawn to altered states of consciousness.
Modern surveillance tech isn’t rooted in the same biological or cultural factors, and enforcing laws about its use seems unlikely to suffer from the same issues brought on by the war on drugs.
