Thoughtful people have been warning of the varied and far reaching consequences of a "surveillance society" for some time. It would seem that some of these are now being acknowledged. It is not too late (yet!) to reverse this trend, but it requires more people to understand and some pretty direct action.
A good starting point would be a healthy debate about privacy in a technology enabled world - leading to some rather tough constraints on what employers and government may do - rolling back the frontiers of some current (often carefully concealed) practices.
