the main summary of 1984: "neighbors are encouraged, via telesecreens, to spy on one another to enforce conformity."

There thing to fear isn't some higher state; it's each other. We happily will surveil each other under the auspices of safety.

Hell, these days, our kids grow up with cameras pointing at them in their own rooms. What did we expect?

Until we are willing to accept more "risk" in exchange for more privacy, this will only get worse. (It's why I believe most tech/services that tout privacy are DoA, because nobody actually cares)
