It raises some good points. It's also said that there is 'nothing people can do' about surveillance. For those interested, there is a good documentary what happens if and when someone tries to do somethong about it:

Total Trust

Total Trust is an eye-opening and deeply disturbing story of surveillance technology, abuse of power and (self-)censorship that confronts us with what can happen when our privacy is ignored. Through the haunting stories of people in China who have been monitored, intimidated and even tortured, the film tells of the dangers of technology in the hands of unbridled power. Taking China as a mirror, Total Trust sounds an alarm about the increasing use of surveillance tools around the world – even by democratic governments like those in Europe.

If this is the present, what is our future?
