My definition of restrictive is having limited access to the things people who don't live isolated have access to. I've lived both on a capital city an a more rural/countryside area, even on the countryside there are cameras on buses, hospitals, gov buildings, on houses, of not all houses like in the city, but if you go out anywhere even here, you will get recorded. (unless you go to a place without people, which as I said would be restrictive)

My perspective of reality might be "warped" as you say, but does that change any argument I'm making? Or it's something you just wanted to say?
