We're just starting to learn what living under constant surveillance inside our digital panopticon does to a person and to a population. It'll likely take a few generations before we discover the extent of the harm.
- rightbyte 2y agoA major effect I theorize is that mass surveillance aids 'players' in political orgs weed out 'naive' party members that might be harder to corrupt. I've got this suspicion that many of all these insane ideas are a dog whistle for 'bad people' to find eachother among 'good people' and later if they have control some sort of filter process to lurk out dissident 'good people'.
