I think privacy is a weird thing to fixate on. Once you stop expecting it, you realise you've lost nothing.

The principle of the Panopticon prison is that with perfect surveillance, only one guard is needed, at the centre. The prisoners, not knowing if they are being watched at any given moment, govern themselves. What this should tell you is that the society being built is a prison.

The outstanding question is, do you trust the guard not to abuse their power?
-
Even if the guard was perfectly nice I would still prefer to be able to leave the prison.

So I'm assuming they went to China because the UK equivalent weren't willing to give the same access? Or is it because BBC is biased, and making *foreign* states seem scary is more acceptable than doing the same for one's own state?

There are comparable capabilities, at least in London, with its CCTV coverage.
