Re: This is precisely what I expected
As they say the medium is the message and because we all use the Internet, a medium that makes mass surveillance and automated policing so easy, we naturally end up with a surveillance society in the end. And it's not just authorities doing the spying, it's enabling peer surveillance as well.
In the past, popular media, such as radio, television and books, did not enable such surveillance, and we had much more freedom. We never had to watch for the virtual policeman looking over our shoulder, examining our every searches, as we can do now. It's like having a book where every turn of the page is spied on.
