> Is it though? the talk about privacy often ignores what lack of privacy could potentially mean. A fully covered surveillance state with proper AI and fast respondent police can get rid of entire types of crimes entirely. Burglary, Rubbery, Kidnapping, stranger rape, many types of violent outside crimes. You're missing some crimes from your list: being part of a minority political party, disparaging the ruling party, expressing dissent, failing to adhere to formalized social norms, being an "undesirable". I could go on. No, these are not crimes today. But if the apparatus you describe was in place, they could easily be made crimes and you couldn't stop it. Because the moment you tried, you'd be whisked away.
