So basically, all governments want more surveillance, almost no citizens want surveillance

How do we fix this? How can we ensure that, as citizens of any country, we can stop out government from slowly turning ball societies into surveillance states?

    Late reply, but I believe a LOT of people want surveillance. In my city the facial recognition thing is one of the main campaign talking points of the current mayor...

    almost no citizens want surveillance

    Yet masses of people are voluntarily paying good money to have corporate spy cameras and listening devices installed in their homes.

    Devices that can (and have) leak personal information to both criminals (in the traditional sense) and government agencies.

    That mostly has to do with people not understanding the implications of technology. It's not that they want to be spies on, they're just very ignorant and government laws against this spying has been lax at best and helping with the spying at worst
