There was life before facebook, and life continues after facebook, though admittedly somewhat degraded. My point is, technology and (voluntary or involuntary) surveillance does not really change the human condition.

Does civil surveillance suck? Yeah. Should we fight it? To the extent each individual feels comfortable, sure. Does the very asking of these questions imply that life goes on? Yup.

Some of the most fulfilled people on the planet -- sports stars, celebrities, movie directors, famous writers, etc. -- are watched at all times. They're doing just fine. Sure, it's not possible for, you know, Princess Diana to lead a fulfilling life, but that's a pretty rare outcome.
