I've gone down the rabbit hole hard a couple years back, and I must say, coming out the other end, surveillance integration and technological evolution aren't bad per se, l. The usage, or rather the effect to wich some people are using it is the problem.
But if it exists, there will ALWAYS be those people who use it like this. Therefore, those people in my mind come packaged with the technology. So you CAN say this level of surveillance IS bad, because there will never be a time when it exists that it's not also being abused.
To add to this, you should also remember that malicious hackers will always exist, and since most surveillance systems are made by the government, cyber security isn't their strong suit.
Upvoted for good comment.
Although I do respect the problem, and I accept there will always be a loose cog somewhere that could be exploited or abused, the fear o if is really sociaty/country based.
If you live in a "decent-wish" country with a strong set of laws, and those laws put you under the microscope or you have something g to hide, I've come to the personal realization that it's not really as much of a problem as some make it out to be.

I live in the united states, where it hasn't been confirmed that our official government policy is now fascist nazi government, but also don't rule it out just yet. We absolutely might be that at this point, and we have one of the worlds biggest spy program against it's own citizens. I have no doubt in my mind that this government is watching everything online. But it's probably being monitored now with AI bullshit, that REALLY misses stuff. The tradeoff being it's almost costless for them to run it. So I have no doubt that some form of the government is reading this here right now.
Hey trump! Go fuck yourself!
