Very slanted question which isn't surprising given that it's Cato. Focusing the question on the government aspect might get this kind of age-divided result but what came immediately to mind to me were religious 'shameware' apps used to spy on teens[1]. Nosy ring-doorbell neighbors and American Beauty style policing is popular in the US.
What is generational though is the acceptance of the upsides of transparency through tech. Smartphone footage has become pretty important in documenting abuse from all kinds of sources so I don't really find the shifting attitude among younger people so surprising. Camera surveillance isn't just seen as dystopian but more as a means to bring things to light.
