Big Brother isn’t watching you
So you don’t understand how mass surveillance works? “Big brother” isn’t “watching” you in real time, they’re collecting and storing all the data they can en masse and having AI look at it for them. I personally object to the warrantless collection and storage of everyone’s data.

They aren’t watching, but they are recording so they can watch later at their leisure and skip the commercials.
