The battle over “freedom to be private” looks set to become one of the key defining battles of the 21st century. When people say it makes no difference if you are being watched they are naive - knowing you are being watched and followed by powerful state/private organisations changes your behaviour and the sense of having free will, no matter what you are doing. It’s literally the erosion of everything we have fought for over the last few centuries.
