De American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) illustreert hoe een 24/24 surveillance samenleving er in de (nabije?) toekomst kan uitzien. Vooral wanneer overheid en bedrijfsleven de handen in mekaar slaan. Of beter gezegd: hun databanken koppelen.

"We are facing a flood of powerful new technologies that expand the potential for centralized monitoring, an executive branch aggressively seeking new powers to spy on citizens, a docile Congress and courts, as well as a cadre of mega-corporations that are willing to become extensions of the surveillance state. We confront the possibility of a dark future where our every move, our every transaction, our every communication is recorded, compiled, and stored away, ready for access by the authorities whenever they want."
