Surveilance capitalism
Post #1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System

In Islam, it is claimed that every human has one angel on the right shoulder who records the human's good deeds and another angel on the left shoulder who records the human's bad deeds.
Isn't the social credit system of China doing the same thing where the government has taken on the role of God and the surveillance systems taken on the role of the angels?

I want to be watched 24/7 so I can prove I'm not doing anything wrong if somebody accuses me.

I have my troubles with the Patriot Act and would either modify or eliminate it of I was able to do so. However, I disagree with you that its enactment was the beginning of the spying and loss of freedom by Americans. We have had government racial/ethnic profling for years and this represents spying and loss of freedom more accurately.
Just recently white police in Rochester, Minnesota were caught engaging in racial profiling. The result was a catastropic disaster for them:
WARNING: Language
Please accept my apologies if the language is offensive. My intent is to inform, not to inflame.
Yes, we must reform the laws. But more importantly, we must reform the evil hearts and thoughts of many who succumb to racial/ethnic hate. That, along with legislative reform, would make for a far better society and one far more in compliance with the Bible's laws.
