Sometimes I think, I have learned a lot about this issue and I’m well aware of the fact the whole world is going towards a state of surveillance that no one can escape, I have done everything I could to ensure my personal privacy, but what about others?
the majority of the world population does not even care about this matter, and they might even see it as a normality, the people might even know that they are being watched/listened to/surveilled, and they don’t do anything to prevent it neither individually or collectively.
I also believe that protecting the individual privacy automatically contributes to the collective privacy and vice-versa, but seeing how the world is heading towards extreme surveillance that is practically impossible to resist (eg… face recognition, chat control law), I ask, what is the point of all of this? how can i live peacfully knowing that i can be suspected of anything just because i made a joke here or said something there?
and I’m not talking 100% privacy or anonymity, i’m just talking peace of mind and well-being.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Nothing is set in stone, and humanity is resilient to technological changes. Countries that had stasi before no longer have them.
We need a collective will as a society to reject surveillance and the technological tools used to enable it. It should be disgusting to civilized people, it should be taboo. A good place to start with that is the EU GDPR regulation and the EU AI regulation, and grow from there
