So.. the question is; what steps will you take to rectify it?
Will fighting and pushing your way through help anything at all? Or would it only cause more mayhem?
Opting out of the system as regularly as possible. I respect the need for an integrated social system which helps us all work toward a common goal (survival), however that does not mean I coalesce to every new initiative. The basic and most threatening force behind these new spying initiatives is a reversal of the legal maxim that has so revolutionized civic rights, stating that we are "innocent until proven guilty". This technology fosters a reversal of that attitude, it sets the polarity to a negative and creates a paranoid government.
People keep pointing to conspiracy theorists as the paranoid ones in all of this. While paranoia is certainly a trait of the conspiracy theorist archetype, it is occurring for good reason. Governments internationally are themselves becoming increasingly paranoid, just as much if not moreso than conspiracy theorists. Only in the case of governments, their rather schizophrenic behavior is considered normal, acceptable and even prudent! Few people are even remotely aware of the ripple effect these subtle changes in mass psychology are going to have on future societies. Fewer still are aware how much of an effect their own attitude is having it seems. The complacency, the dismissals, coalescence and making excuses for things like the full body scanners, the RFID chip initiatives, the spy devices absolutely everywhere... is anyone able to hold accountable the arbiters of these devices?
Can you answer that, Ixaee? Can you hold accountable the ones in control of this technology or is that capacity beyond your legal rights? Is it beyond your own expertise as well? Why are you okay with that?
I want children someday and I don't want them coming into a world where their every movement is logged, catechized and constantly tailored to the will and whim of some hidden technofascist control grid beyond their control to resist.
The simple point comes down to this; with these technologies in place, power is inevitably being funneled to a few small organizations with the ability to directly monitor activities. Bureaucrats will increasingly rely on the information from these small organizations. Since they cannot actually look at what is going on all the time, there is going to be a systemic bias informing the decisions of these political entities. There is a very real chance for that to fuel the kind of paranoia that ushers in fascism simply because the illusion of omniscience will want to maintain itself, thus government will become increasingly more probing, more paranoid
and in an effort to keep track of everyone's movements better, measures will be taken to normalize people's behavior.
That is what this has a very real possibility of leading to. People who have very few options for how they live are easier to keep track of. Keeping track of people naturally makes you want to keep track of them more often and that becomes easier to do when their behaviors are more predictable. It becomes even easier to do when you have an 'acceptable' pattern of behavior which you intend everyone to keep in line with, since it is easier to record deviations from this set line. The more structured this set line becomes, the easier it is to spot perturbations from it. This, in a nutshell, is how a fascist state evolves. It is a very organic process, much like a disease that is a simple result of faulty logic, fear and just the right amount of technological power.
). Also note the suggestion that the ~pyramid has been inverted~ and we the masses are now in control. While subjectively true, this suggestion is made at a time when heightened awareness of methods of top down stratified control is gaining mass attention. 
I come to these threads just to laugh at your simple-mindedness.
