Benevolent Vigilance... or is it?

Here's an interesting article on the PANOPTICON...
Big Brother is watching
and so is little sister
and mom and dad,
distant relatives
friends
family
acquaintances
and scores of strangers -
Everybody (in digitized communities)
is watching Everybody

Is the surveillance benevolent? sometimes.
Amazon and Google watch me because they want my money
Drones observe
searching for sudden death
Is privacy possible anymore?
Do people care less about privacy if they live in communities hounded by hyper-vigilance?
