If peopler never fought for their rights, we wouldnt have any. More and more surveillance is bad economically and doesnt prevent criminality, the reasons for it are actually based on weak defences.
This. I have yet to see any evidence that blockchain analysis and mass invasion of users' privacy leads to less crime or fewer instances of money laundering, just like there is no evidence that general mass surveillance of the population reduces terrorism or any of the other nonsense the government feeds people to justify their actions. It's never about the things they claim. It's about control of their populace.
