Surveillance is almost everywhere around us. But does it really makes the world a safer place?
1. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." Do you agree?
2. How do you think the future of surveillance will look?
3. Should we have more or less surveillance in our lives?

Usually when you are at home, you have nothing to hide but would you like anyone to watch you? I don't think so. When it comes to me, I don't really like mass surveillance, because it's tempting to use it in a wrong way. Governments can use it against its enemies, huge companies can use data about you only for profit. However, I really support idea to use mass surveillance to detect incoming terrorist attacks and that's there reason I would give away some of my privacy. The surveillance is not a bad thing as long as it's not overused.
We should not do something dangerous for everyone and anyone doesn't surveillance for us.
Future of surveillance is now your phone spies on you , your fridge spies on you, your dishwasher spies on you and all of that you agreed to for sake of convince. Companies know more about u than you do.
Do we need surveillance in our lives in a first place ?
2. Well that depends. For some it will be torment. For some other it will be another day in their lives.
3. In my opinion? We already have to much things watching us at the moment.
I think we already have an extensive surveillance done by the manufacturers of our hardware and software. It is not necessarily a governmental initiative. It is a result of businesses having a capacity to do so and being greedy. Already now everything we do on a device is known to the manufacturer: our exact location at any time, our habits of using the devices and what we actually do with them - including every single message, picture or vid we send.
I do not agree with that sentence. I think everybody should have right to privacy. Right now we are observed in the largely.
How do you think the future of surveillance will look?
Maybe surveillance will decrease under the influence of people, but that is bright vision. I think it will go deeper.
Should we have more or less surveillance in our lives?
We should have no surveillance in our daily lives.
"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say" - E. Snowden.
Imagine a reality where every step, a say, move, thing, you do is being watched, recorded and archived. Imagine that the law became so strict that you can go to jail for even thinking "I'd kill for that cake! It look's so delicious!". Crossed a street in a wrong place? It's been recorded and a fine is already being applied to your bank account. Said something funny which can be interpreted as wrong or current law bans it, on the internet? Shared your political views 5 years ago and todays, different government is looking for citizens that might threat their next election? Knock, knock, "police, open up". Nobody will care if you didn't do anything wrong because everyone will be scared and oppressed enough to just keep their head down. Orwell's 1988, Minority Raport, Black Mirror anyone? Can't imagine anyone would like to live in such a world. Mass surveillance doesn't solve terrorism problem. "Looking for a needle in a haystack, adding more hay to the stack isn't going to make finding the needle any easier" - Kurzgesagt. Terrorism is just a nice excuse for the incompetent governments with hidden agendas and hunger for power. What's sad is that giving up our freedom is less and less the choice of society.
The future would look pretty terrible if there weren't and people or fundations that care about our rights to the privacy. Governments pretty often doesn't know what are the specifics of the IT security and demand things that are pretty often impossible to implement at all. Thanks to these people though, we are still looking to the future in which we wouldn't feel oppressed.
I wouldn't agree on having more surveillance in my private life, I already think this is too much. That's why I'm doing my best to have all of my data encrypted (even if not so important.)
Yes and no. Because you do not know who is on the other side and it is not always a good person. Some ideas, intellectual property should be secret to everyone except me.
2. How do you think the future of surveillance will look?
I am afraid of it because currently our phones collects so much data that I do not know what will be next.
3. Should we have more or less surveillance in our lives?
More of a good way of using it - in schools because it would stop bulling and bad behavior of children at classes, in buses to prevent from crimes etc.
I think the surveillance in the future will be look like one in "1984" with the only difference - we won't know about it. Big Brother will be watching you and you won't be able to recognise it, just imagine it.
I can't answer that question. The whole concept of people watching other people, because they see them as potential threat is frustrating. Probably, we should left things as they are now and try to fix what is wrong with humanity first.
I think we'll be monitored on every step in near future and the data about our life will be analysed to determine if we're potential criminals.
I believe we should reduce surveillance and use the money to educate people about self-defence and how to behave in dangerous situations. It'd be probably more useful and safe for everyone.
I don't agree with this statement, and certainly not fully. Surveillance in the future will certainly be greater, but it should not exceed a certain degree. It's known that knowledge about people is very valuable, what they search for, what they have and what they are looking for. You need to know the limits of privacy and security, and allow them to be kept.
Yes, it's useless to spy on people on the Internet. You may have terabytes of information, but how to find something connected with terrorism and prevent this? People cannot search it, and algorithms don't work properly. Just look at the new rules on YouTube. Your video will not get the monetization if you use controversial words in the name/description/tags. For example, if you name a video about taking a picture of a bird "how to shoot a bird", it will be controversial, YouTube won't like it. But how can it diminish terrorism? It's weird.
And it's awful if someone (FBI or just hackers) can turn on my web camera or microphone without my permission. Not because I want something to hide, but I can be naked (while changing clothes) or so. Or I can talk to my friend about something that bothers me and I don't want anyone else to pry.
I don't agree with statement that "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear". Any of embarrassing material about us can be use against us e.g. in our job because our subordinate would give revange becouse of our decision or something like that. I don't have problem with camers on our roads and I feel more safe in a place where we have cameras. I think that we should have more surveillance in public places but any kind of surveillance in private places and for me it is golden mean.
I don’t agree with this quote. Even if you have nothing to hide, people like to know that there are situations that are reserved only for you and people close to you. As for future of surveillance I’m afraid the information will become so easily accessible that everyone will be able to know everything about people around them. I don’t know if more or less if the question I think that every marketing analysis should be totally anonymous.
Let's paste the second part of this phrase - "you have nothing to fear... So why don't you post your web browser history to your facebook wall, or send everyone your account ballance?". I think you get the point.
>"How do you think the future of surveillance will look?"
Of course it goes in the bad way of "overlords and all-seers", but its all for our safety >:D. There will be either an all-time monitoring, or you will need a special permission to be put off the hook.
>Should we have more or less surveillance in our lives?
I think that the current amount of surveillance is enough.

It is very sad that the world robs us from private space. And if it doesn't happen something big and it doesn't change the course of events, all signs are going to get worse.
When it comes to security, it's good that the authorities have some control. But if something does not bring results and robs us of privacy, then it is cruel.
i guess so ...
Anyway, you could watch the orignial one and still answer the questions ;)
I guess we will all give up our privacy in exchange for goods as we do now.
Personally, I don't like being monitored, even if there is anonymous data collection.
Not only government, but also commercial companies collect information on people. When shopping on the Internet and watching ads, for example. This information is sold and earned on it by money, and the problem with terrorism is not solved.
2. I think the worst thing for our privacy is prohibition of crypto algorithms.
3. I think we should have less surveillance in our lives.
