   The world IS getting mass surveillance. The havens for privacy are shrinking. We are becoming the ants in the ant farm.

   One thing i don’t understand is how pro-surveillance advocates don’t understand that the moment they are not behind the terminal, they are the target.

      I've never met anyone who's 'pro surveillance'. I've met ad tech executives and Googlers, though. Have you spoken to them about the world that's been built?

         Every time I mention working on privacy laws like GDPR on USA level I get heavily downvoted and attacked - so not only you've met people who are "pro surveillance", a lot of HNers that say otherwise will aggressively fight against legal frameworks that punish engineers and business leads that collect unnecessary data.

         As soon as you'll put out a concrete proposal, you'll get massacred for being "anti business".

            Any opinion online about anything that involves large corporations is almost entirely astroturfing.
