Yes, Mass surveillance does still exist like in 1984, but to an extant. For example, we have facial recognition software watching us, it is not to the same degree as something we see in the novel. Also another point to be added is that they don't spew government propaganda. Not even to mention, at least in today's society we don't have children, trained by the government, to spy on civilians ... but - despite the ridiculousness of it all - it still seems to be going in that route.

Mass surveillance does exist in today society. For examples the face recognition on the Xbox 1 uses your face as a password to log into your account. This is used as a easier way to log into your account without using a password and using other peoples faces. But if you use another console and log in to the account your face recognition is saved into the the web and there is no need for a set up. It is amazing that many people can not see how easy it is to give something away and manipulate us.

Yes, mass surveillance does exist in our society today. It is now part of our social, economic and political lives. There are no rules for commercial companies and big businesses. Companies generates and collect data for benefits . The government is always behind us, they can track us and watch us. Mass surveillance is increasing due to rapid change in technology. The increase in technology, the increase in surveillance.

Mass surveillance like in 1984 does indeed exist in  todays society. From surveillance cameras in the streets to gps tracking devices such like our cellphone keep track to were ever we are. Social media and other companies play a huge roll in mass surveillance because they store all of our personal information in order to get precise advertisement. Moreover, if this were to continue to grow rapidly we'd have something bigger than just not having enough likes on our post to worry about.

Mass surveillance does exist in todays world. Some examples are street cameras, surveillance cameras in stores, and cameras on your very own laptop that can be hacked. Wire taps are also part of surveillance because the government can listen to what people say.

Does the Government know every move we make?

Does the Government know our location when we move from place to place?

Mass surveillance like in 1984 does exist in society today. Everywhere we go we are being monitored. Social media uses what we post and keeps information about us from our profiles. Also small businesses use facial recognition to track us and to track what we do. Another way that mass surveillance is being used is that ads are sent to us based on what we search and what we click on.
1) Why do we need mass surveillance?
2) How will mass surveillance benefit us?
3) Can mass surveillance be dangerous to society?

Mass surveillance like 1984 does exist today in our society. For an example, street cameras, fingerprints, facial recognition, social media and other outlets of communication give away our identity and whereabouts. Some people believe this is an invasion of privacy. Even not having a social media account yourself does not mean you are safe from being tracked. Someone could have posted a picture of you somewhere and you can be identified and possibly at risk of your information being used by someone else.

Mass surveillance exists in our society today, but is done by social media selling users' personal information to businesses and companies requesting them, and sites monitoring user activity to determine what advertisements to show them. Companies pay sites to take a user's images, search history, interests, and more and send them to the company. The company uses this information to determine how much of each product they should sell, and determine their advertising strategies. They also may use your email, which social media sold to them, to send you advertisements/promotions based on what you've been searching. Social media sites track your history and show advertisements on the top, side, or bottom of their site based on your interests. If you search science topics often, a science museum advertisement or something similar will show.

These tactics are different than in the novel 1984, as it is done for the profit of companies and corporations, rather than tactics used by the government to control people. However, it is difficult to know what information the government is stealing, as it is non-transparent.

How many people read the terms of service when creating a social media account?

How many people know that their information is sold and used by companies?

Do sites that claim that they don't sell your information do so anyway?

Is social media users' information being sold to our government in secret?

The potential for mass surveillance does indeed exist in our society. The development of facial recognition allows people to now know what's going on since it's right in front of them. As the reporter said in the video "we're running out of places to hide", imagine anywhere you go the government will be able to see who you are, what you're doing, and even personal information. It's scary to see when you search up an ice cream parlor you get a bunch of ads for ice cream. Everything on your social media is public, and the government is watching it.
What are the benefits of mass surveillance?
Why is regulation so slow in the United States?
Are people aware that they're being watched?

Mass surveillance does exist in our current society.  One example are the cameras for when you pass red lights.  If the government has the ability to create things like that, they probably have cameras that watch our every move with or without our consent.  As technology advanced we created things like drones which are now being dispersed due to it being now available to the public. Not only the government has the ability to watch you. Now everyday strangers can see what you are doing if they feel like it.
