6. Widespread Digital Surveillance
Historically, governments have utilized intelligence tools for surveillance, as seen during the Cold War. In the digital era, advancements in facial recognition and data mining, particularly post-9/11, have led to increased surveillance capabilities. These technologies enable extensive monitoring of individuals’ activities, raising concerns about privacy and civil liberties. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) provides comprehensive information on surveillance technologies and their implications (eff.org).
