#2Quite ironic to post this piece of journalism on one of the worst offenders on tracking and personalised advertisements. I can see more than 20 scripts without even having anything enabled. Set your own house in order before judging the government.

#3Nah, it's China's surveillance state, that's the real made up enemy of the day to scare westerners.

#4Content aside, this article is really well formatted. Going photo by photo, camera by camera puts me in the shoes of the author, and frankly gives me the same feeling I had when I first read 1984 (especially when he mentioned the sky was fittingly grey).

I'm pretty sure that in 1984 only a relatively small part of the population, the Inner Party, were constantly monitored.

Government? Most of these camera owners weren't government.

#8One thing that I always wondered is if people just ignore the cameras.
Once I got called for questioning on a local retail store, since I was with enough free time and a good mood, so I just went with it. So the reason I was called was that the security guard noticed that I was looking at all security cameras which made me seem suspicious, my only answer was "well they're distracting".
Anyway there was no other irregularity and even the manager thought that the guard was being over zealous, but I was left wondering if other people are not uncomfortable around so many cameras. That this journalist seems surprised makes me think that maybe other people aren't even aware of them.

In the UK there are advertisements on the public transport network that recommend reporting suspicious activity.
One of them has a 'plotline' of someone who's taking a photo of a camera. "Are they checking out security" or something like that.
