Surveillance doesn’t physically harm anyone, either, but does that also reduce conscious suffering in the long run? Sibling comments are right: physical harm != harm.

There is a more direct link from surveillance to physical harm (loss of freedom, imprisonment, death) than there is from lab meat. I agree, physical harm != harm, but harm != harm we should restrict others' freedom in order to prevent.
