I like Cory Doctorow. I really do, and I agree that this is a problem. But as I argue, the genie is already out of the bottle, the cat is out of the bag and the barn door is open. What we should focus on instead is mechanisms for mitigating and punishing malicious use of data, AS WELL AS putting the surveillance to good use, eg body cameras for on-duty police officers:

Body cameras on politicians and all bureaucrats above a specific paygrade.

And corporate officers.
