Surveillance Society

A surveillance society refers to a social environment where individuals are constantly monitored through various technologies, such as cameras, smartphones, and the internet. This tracking can come from governments, corporations, or even peers, leading to concerns about privacy and personal freedoms. In such a society, people may change their behavior due to awareness of being watched, which can influence social norms and individual expression. Proponents argue it enhances security, while critics worry about the erosion of privacy and civil liberties, raising ethical questions about the balance between safety and individual rights.
