People have different ideas of what privacy means. The current discussion seems to focus upon the use of surveillance as a construct of power. There is good reason for that, since that is the type of society that we live in. On the other hand, some people value privacy for different reasons. Some people value privacy for its own sake since they are not seeking, nor do they desire, attention. Others are uncomfortable with intrusions upon their life, not because of others explicitly exerting power over them but because it interferes with their sense of autonomy.
