Yes. People don't know and most don't care.
For example, the EU parliament has just recently passed legislation to allow "providers of e-mail and messaging services to automatically search all personal messages of each citizen for presumed suspect content and report suspected cases to the police."
Most people I talk to don't know about this. When they hear it, they're in shock. And then go on living their lives. It's really very intangible to most people.

- sildur 5y agoPeople don't caring about surveillance is more sinister than it looks. Because most people don't care, the ones who do (out of necessity or choice) stick out like a sore thumb. "This citizen here, he shows in the cameras, but doesn't appear to have a cellphone/has two cellphones, let's investigate him!"
