Ease and scale of surveillance was more a result of technical improvement, and if history has shown us anything, technical advancement can only be delayed, not stopped.
Now take a step back, the problem with mass surveillance is that it gives disproportionate power to those who have access to it over those who don't.
So instead of banning surveillance, which would be futile, it'll be much more practical to call for transparency, so the power generated by surveillance data is not concentrated to the select few.
