Mass Surveillance: Governments and Big Tech

In today's digital world, our personal freedom and privacy are under constant threat. Governments worldwide are building massive surveillance systems—collecting internet traffic, tracking mobile devices, using facial recognition, and analyzing social networks. Laws like the Patriot Act and mass wiretapping by agencies such as the NSA, GCHQ, and others turn every citizen into a potential target, often without judicial oversight or transparency.

How Big Tech Profits from Your Data

At the same time, tech giants—Google, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and others—build detailed profiles on each of us. They collect data about our searches, locations, contacts, messages, purchases, and even our habits and preferences. This data is not only used for targeted advertising, but is often shared with third parties, analyzed by AI, and can be handed over to authorities on request.

The Connection: State and Corporate Surveillance

The link between governments and corporations is growing stronger. States often demand access to data, and companies comply—voluntarily or under pressure. In some cases, tech giants even build surveillance tools specifically for government agencies. The result is a world where our personal information is a commodity, and our freedom is conditional.
