It's the book 1984 all over again. Pretty soon we will have cameras in our houses to make sure we are all toeing in the party line.

Every cellphone camera and webcam in your possession can be remotely activated by intelligence services. Every mic.

Make it a habit of counting how many surveillance devices are around you at any given time. Assume they are always on.

Webcams Cellphones Car Bluetooth Tv remotes Gaming headsets Etc.

So fucking true! It all gets recorded and stored at the Utah Data Center. Then there are algorithms like Palantir that sift through it so it can be turned into actionable intel. American citizens are being monitored by surveillance systems that were initially designed to hunt down insurgents in Afghanistan. These systems have since been refined and are now pointed at US.

No. They just used the Afghanistan insurgents as the excuse to create the system.
