Until there's surveillance in the streets that is.

True. But real-life surveillance much more expensive than controlling Internet backbones, upstream, etc. Although the government has anyway de facto unlimited resources, so in a way, it doesn't really matter out of the privacy aspect - you're just more social with people around you (or maybe not), which can be better than chatting them but seeing them daily.

There's also the issue that people can't stop existing - they can't avoid street surveillance. But then again - people generally accept Skype, e-mail and Facebook as social contact so that may also be hard to give up to some people...
