Earlier quoted context omitted.
Interesting opinion but there is no dystopian literature i know of that worries about banning mass surveillance. Mass surveillance on the other hand features very prominently.
Mass surveillance played out privately means every plated cop car can be tracked, every noted confidential informant and every detective, tax stasi, etc can be traced. This is already becoming the case on networked mapping apps where the road pirates are losing their revenue. It's more of a worry for the state than citizens IMO.
That's actually a very fair point i haven't considered, i can't say i've changed my opinion to worry more about the citizens than the state but i agree with it part of the way!
