The accumulate effect of government tracking. I can't walk outside for 100 meters without being on camera. I can't buy a bus ticket without linking the purchase and ride to my identity. Etc.
This is it for me also. I drive rural back roads to work and pass under thirteen cameras (that I know of) that are tracking license plates and other data. Add in phones, etc it's insane. Local police department is also asking people to register their home cameras with them too, so that they have all the cameras.
Yes that's scary, democracy and laws only protect us to an extent. If the state changed we'd be in trouble.
