Nobodies don't have much to fear from this kind of surveillance. Nobodies have to fear being caught up in electronic dragnets and being processed by algorithms. This kind of surveillance will only be used against important people and people who become important by being a threat to important people.

The endgame of this stuff is that societies become completely controlled by nameless people; the least surveilled.

edit: just like the cops begging everyone to snitch and putting snitches everywhere are the least snitching people on the planet, intelligence organizations have mysterious locations, methods, budgets, customers, allegiances, owners, and employees. The least surveilled people on the planet will be the people who own the surveillance.
