Official monitoring of individuals in our society is on the rise, and it is not a matter of government alone. More and more information is being gathered by corporations and other private-sector institutions, and fed to or seized by security agencies.

This trend will not stop unless individuals demand changes, not only in how information is gathered and handled by the government, but also by the private sector.
