Surveillance Technology and Privacy Intrusions

The chapter explores the implications of spyware and surveillance technology on individual privacy and authority, particularly focusing on remote proctoring systems in educational institutions. It discusses the normalization of privacy infringements, the potential long-lasting consequences, and the lack of oversight in the use of surveillance technology post-major events. Personal accounts of digital security routines and a journalist's revelation about Canadian spying activities add layers of unease and suspicion to the narrative.
