Given things like smart dust eventuating inevitably, I note the ability of the public to share the surveillance data therefrom to attack corruption and crime will be far more harmful to bad actors than the present proprietary possession of surveillance data enables them to extort and harm the public and government.

I reckon it's inevitable, and impossible to prevent bad actors from gaining access to the data anyway, so the public should take control of it and use it against criminals. It is they that have the most to lose from surveillance after all, not honest folks.

Thanks!
