Do you mean Mass Surveillance like the US, UK, and China? I haven't heard of "Surveillance Communism" as a developed distinct concept.

I haven't heard of "Surveillance Communism" as a developed distinct concept.
- Ruthalas 6y agoI suspect the parent post is making facetious commentary on the phrase, "surveillance capitalism".
- fabianhjr 6y agoStill though, surveillance capitalism is the commodification of personal data by private enterprise and on the other hand mass surveillance is meant to convey the surveillance of the whole (or a big part) of a population regardless of the mode of production. I guess if "capitalist mode of production absolutely good and communist mode of production absolutely bad" is taken as a given then the parent comment would be "facetious" as in dismissive of the article being discussed.
