One of these is active, the other passive.

Modern surveillance feels pretty active too me. It's embedded into damn near every single facet of my life. I can't escape it and I feel the chilling effect, I feel the oppression. I'd rather take the automated agents.

      The leading suppliers and vendors that distribute surveillance technology put billions into R&D to make sure of this. It's another of many dark industries.
