Personally I have a strong anxiety about being surveiled.<p>In a world where friendships are maintained online, CCTV cameras monitor the real world, and the best jobs are automatically analysing and classifying data, such anxiety is inhibiting and limiting.<p>I&#x27;m extremely grateful to Snowden and others for igniting this conversation, but I haven&#x27;t truely felt secure post 2012. Even writing this feels like it will become a black mark against my name.
