>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
>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. Then you need to go get a copy America's Deadliest Export: Democracy, the Truth About US Foreign Policy, and Everything Else link
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
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.

" is that as IoT devices become more and more ubiquitous, I'll probably still end up with some kind of quasi-surveillance garbage in my house." This is the natural result of free market capitalism and private property, property owners (corporations) want to protect it and their profits from the plebians.

>There is a lot of evidence that we should be very afraid of the state if you look at Verfassungsschutz activities. It goes way beyond that, all elites of all nations are afraid of their publics and are basically already implementing soft versions of martial law behind the scenes. The media being complicit.

"Anyway, his theory on capital accumulation is based on a completely flawed framework, and completely useless for understand what's happening today." Sorry but you've never read marx if you're saying that. Also check what a former national security advisor has to say on the matter. "capitalistic accumulation itself... constantly produces, and produces in the direct ratio of its own energy and extent, a relatively redundant population of workers" On the spying...

It seems insane to me that we could allow private corporations to buy and sell data that our government would require a warrant or court order to obtain. You're not seeing what is going on behind the scenes... they are all in cahoots the money is just a bonus. You're not seeing what's going down behind the scenes - the spying is for us.
