Yeah.

I think the defense of the movie is that his surveillance system isn't a thematic concern: it's not a part of the story, it's just a plot device to allow the movie to just hand him whatever information is convenient whenever they like. So the writers probably assume that their hands are clean because it's so flimsy and absent from the film that they might claim that they're making no statement.

However that's frankly bullshit. Not making a statement on something awful is often the loudest statement you can make.

Again, I liked the movie. But I feel this issue must be addressed.
