Isn’t the city with the most mass surveillance actually London? Course when it happens in the west, it’s about protection from terrorism but when it happens in the east, it IS terrorism.
Yes London has the most CCTVs, I wanna say per capita, but the unit might be per square km. It’s also a 5 eye county and you can post racist boomer memes on Reddit so the surveillance doesn’t count.
I think the British surveillance state is more panopticon than real surveillance at this point considering massive cuts to all public sector jobs including the people who would have looked at the tape. I doubt they even had money to modernise in the last 2 decades. Maybe I’m optimistic about the British ‘defunding the police’ by being austerity cretins tho. Could be the only thing they fund anymore
