Surveillance has reversed the net's capacity for social change

Oh, and also:

That’s not the only problem with surveillance. Ordinary, everyday people will take it upon themselves to pry into the lives of others and control their modes of thought and being, through means up to and including violent assault and murder. I think it’s better for the progression of society if we all have the freedom of expression without needing to tie our expression back to ourselves. Personal identity may be largely a McGuffin, but the physical person is not.
