I'm really curious : could you try to make the case here? I'd be very interested in this perspective.

its essentially the same argument that some people make against gun control: to keep government in check

Ummhhh, except here I think that this will lead to powerful people dominating the lives of everyone else. I don't see the similarity to gun control - with guns individuals end up having power (or getting shot - I tend to agree with gun control), with surveillance they end up under the thumb of some plutocrat or politician.
