i didn't say its exactly new, quite the opposite.
its just that we can't stop it anymore.
nah you can totally stop the surveillance. Just use tailsOS, live in the basement of a building under an aluminum ceiling (to hide from synthetic-aperture radar spy sats), near a busy highway (so the LIGO gravity-wave observatory cant record the sound of your footsteps), get food deliveries so you don't have to leave, and connect to the internet using a neighbors wifi.
I was talking more about the panopticon surveillance phenomena, not the people individually trying to hide something which I'd guess its probably still possible.
But the surveillance state is here to stay and we won't get rid of it easily is what i'm saying.
