- giantg2 5y agoI can't imagine growing up under constant surveillance today. I assume this limits their ability to develop as adults when they feel that any "unapproved" comment could lead to reprimand, legal issues, etc. Essentially none of the freedom that privacy provides, and the growth that comes from learning how to responsibly use that freedom.
- joeberon 5y agoYeah I just watched a video about this actually, about how we all continuously monitor our own actions and motivations based on society much more than before, due to continuous feedback through our phones and computers, both social media and while at work with various continuous metrics. Even small amounts of regular surveillance add up to total continuous self correction and self-shaming. For that matter, I can't even relax on Sundays anymore.
