That's kind of the point, the upper class is at war with the masses, hear it in their own words: Zbigniew Brezinski, former national security advisor of the United states: ▶ this video "The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities." link Book - governments not to work for the people: link
>2.6 million cameras in Chongqing!? that number is mind-boggling. You need to get an idea of what the upper classes are thinking, they need data to divide and conqeur, here's former national security advisor of the united states: ▶ this video >This article raises more questions than answers.

>The Internet cannot remain free Uhh have you not been paying attention for the last 20 years? We went from ownign our software and devices to not owning them as the tech illiterate masses got internet and smartphones. Google apps, app stores, steam, mmo's... those are all NOT FREE internet. They are not there for your benefit when you have to login and your software is controlled by a remote party, you are monitored and controlled. People in the west seem blind to the fact that they are basically corporate slaves, when a cursory examination of the facts is that they are amongst the most enslaved indoctrinated people in history. The US is a lawless empire and has been it's founding, if you don't think western governments aren't interested in clamping down on the internet further, just view this by former national security advisor of the United states, Zbigniew Brezinski: ▶ this video
You don't understand what is happening, the elites are at war with all citizens of their respective states because they fear the free flow of information through their society. That is why are collecting everything. Go view the privacy video and skip to 1:02:30 and watch. So hear it from national security advisor of the united states. If you are the non fraction of the 1% you are the enemy, aka spying is aimed at politically controlling your perception because they know your brain doesn't see the world as it is. See the science: link Every citizen called a "global menace" here by Zbig: ▶ this video Protectionism for the rich and big business by state intervention, radical market interference. link Government does not work for you link Book: link Privacy video link

Sorry to tell ya but it's all to protect corporations should the people stop believing free market fairy tales and figure out the upper class is their true enemy. Here's a speech from national security advisory of the united states about his worries about the peoples of the world waking up politically.

"But I'd much rather have this than every other social system, where the sociopaths fuck over the common people unchecked." You already live in that society, you're just unaware of it.

They're worried that the more people are going to wake up and corporate centers like the US and canada may be among those who also awaken.
