"If we consider the acceptability of surveillance in a wider cultural context, it is possible to say that it relies at least in part upon the exhibitionist desire for publicity, itself non-political, that is so characteristic of our media-saturated societies...Perverse as it is, this process is a fundamentally old-fashioned one, because it seeks to re-inscribe the classical distinction of public and private in a situation where it seems to have become vestigial... For the “liberal” state cannot exercise power in a situation where private and public have lost autonomy, and must create a division between them to operate."
