In terms of CCTV surveillance of our population I think we are someway ahead of those countries, and I think we've arrested / imprisoned more of our people for social media posts than Russia in the last few years, but I think it's well intended and for good reasons. Apart from when I'm wanking or picking my nose I'm not particularly bothered about surveillance.
