"For more than 15 years we've known that surveillance leads to
heightened levels of stress, fatigue and anxiety. In the workplace it
also reduces performance and our sense of personal control. A government
that engages in mass surveillance cannot claim to value the wellbeing or
productivity of its citizens."
