is an instrument of control primarily directed toward groups traditionally equipped with limited resources. Thus, it is argued that surveillance should be analyzed as a matter of social sorting rather than as a menace that affects all people equally in the same way.

Privacy ignores the fact that sureveillance is an instrument of control primarily directed toward groups traditionally equipped with limited resources. Thus, it is argued that surveillance should be analyzed as a matter of social sorting (Norris and Armstrong 1999... Lyon 2003, Gandy 2006) rather than as a menace that affects all people equally in the same way.

is loved by the state as it breeds a conformist population, in that when we are being watched, it is natural to do what we think others want us to do.

When we think we're being watched, we make behavior choices that we believe other people want us to make,' he said. 'It's a natural human desire to avoid societal condemnation. That's why every state loves surveillance it breeds a conformist population.' (

is not only a form of a liberal governmental rationality seeking maximum effectiveness and managing the market and the population by observing, classifying and sorting individuals, but is also intended to capture the contingent features of the uncertain (l'aleatoire) that characterizes our times.

The thesis it addresses is twofold. First, surveillance is not only a form of a liberal governmental rationality seeking maximum effectiveness and managing the market and the population by observing, classifying and sorting individuals, but is also intended to capture the contingent features of the 'uncertain' (l'ale atoire) that characterizes our times.

is a thing nobody is immune from. Initially, it is always the country's dissidents and marginalized who bear the brunt of it, leading those who support the government or are merely apathetic to mistakenly believe they are immune.

No matter the specific techniques involved, historically mass surveillance has had several constant attributes. Initially, it is always the country's dissidents and marginalized who bear the brunt of the surveillance, leading those who support the government or are merely apathetic to mistakenly believe they are immune. And history shows that the mere existence of a mass surveillance apparatus, regardless of how it is used, is in itself sufficient to stifle dissent. A citizenry that is aware of always being watched quickly becomes a compliant and fearful one. Glenn Greenwald

is the condition of institutional reflexivity and at the same time also in some part its product.

As a technology of surveillance, bureaucracy exist to reflexivity monitor activities deemed to be within its jurisdiction. Surveillance 'is the condition of institutional reflexivity and at the same time also in some part its product' (Giddens 1991: 149-50).

is the very form of liberal governmentality seeking maximum efficiency for the regulation of bodies and species. It is an activity undertaken both by governments and institutions and even by the subjects them-selves against each other in order to to ensure its members can participate productively in the market.

According to the Foucauldian problematic of biopoliticized security, surveillance can be understood as the very form of liberal governmentality seeking maximum efficiency for the regulation of bodies and species. It is an activity undertaken both by governments and institutions and even by the subjects them-selves against each other. Regarding governmental forms of governmentality, according to Foucault, the idea that government should intervene in society means that the population should be managed and even remediated or improved to ensure its members can participate productively in the market. This implies the regulation of subjects through means and diverse techniques, which are based upon the medical metaphor of body, circulation and flow.

is today at an ambiguous intersection of care and control. It covers all aspects of the public and private life of individuals in the real-time and also in terms of future intentions and projects.

As Lyon posits, surveillance is ambiguous, and is understood in its ambiguity from care to control, and the role of visibility of the surveiled is taken as seriously as the process of observing, classifying and studying (Lyon 2006). Surveillance covers all aspects of the public and private life of individuals as they are implemented in the real-time and also in terms of future intentions and projects (ibid.).
