> democratic states tend to drift into mass surveillance

I am not saying this is false, but think about the inverse: are there non-democratic states never drifting into mass surveillance? Maybe it is a symptom of a developed, high-trust society.

Which doesn't make mass surveillance a good thing. I'm just contemplating whether it's even possible to turn out different.
