I start seeing a pattern in Western societies: The pendulum swings between "for" and "against" mass surveillance with a period of a decade.

2001: Terroist attack, swing towards mass surveillance.

2010: Gov't went too far, surveillance seen as a greater threat than terrorism, swing pendulum back to privacy.

2021: Gang violence increases in Europe, swing pendulum to mass surveillance.

Can anyone guess what will happen 2030?
