So this is the future? The government spies on all communications 24/7 like the stasi? Where does civilization go from here?

Worse than Stasi. Denmark spied on Swedish politicians for US.

I have zero confidence that "the Worlds least corrupt country" is actually the least corrupt.

Eventually revolution.
That's going to be harder if the government spies on everything.
Maybe, but too harsh of crackdowns might also accelerate the revolution timeline. You don't need organization for a revolution to collapse a nation, or even any idea of what anyone wants to try and revolution towards, you just need a couple percentage of the population to be pissed off enough to start wanton destruction.
