  Meh - having lived as a child in communist Romania, I can tell you that police states don't need technology to spy on people. All they need to do is to give the right incentives to people to spy on their friends and neighbours. With a good distribution of informants, all other methods are shallow, because you see - humans are still much better than machines at filtering out noise and cheaper too if you indoctrinate them that this is for the good of society, not to mention that your acquaintances do tend to know your beliefs and thoughts, which is much more than a street camera will be able to do. That's why it is my belief that it isn't the technology you should fear, but rather people and mentalities. Because if society wants to put bars on your windows, you're fucked, with or without technology.
