Consolidation of power & government surveillance is horrible and there is no doubt about it. But it is something only people living in developed countries like US feel insecure about. In developing countries like India there are far more severe problems to tackle. Developing countries should first focus on eliminating corruption at the lower level. Imagine the suffering of people who have to pay 100 bucks to get a document from a government office. The pain & suffering from low level corruption is far more severe than feeling insecure about government snooping.
