What's scary is the number of CCTV cameras throughout Britain (not just London). I've never felt more surveilled than on a recent visit there.

  How does one "feel surveilled"?

    You've never felt like someone is watching you?
    • Zetice 3y ago
      I understand such a feeling is purely made up and not worth acknowledging, so I don't legitimize that thought.
      • omniglottal 3y ago
        Given the fact is legitimate, people legitimize the thought of it and self-censorship ensues.
        • Zetice 3y ago
          It's not legitimate? As I said, being watched != being recorded.

    It's a feeling you get when you suspect (or in this case know) that you're being watched or recorded.
    • Zetice 3y ago
      Being watched != being recorded, and there is no sense a human has that can detect the gaze of another human.

        Surely a human can detect the gaze of another human when they see that human looking at them.

        Human eyes can absolutely detect the gaze of another human, as well as the existence of cameras.

  China is pretty bad too, I’m sure that comes as no surprise to most.
