Summary
People who resist surveillance object to it and try to prevent it. People who acquiesce to surveillance object to it but do not try to prevent it. Instead, they exchange information in ways required by informational norms. They do so to avoid trouble and get on with their lives. Acquiescence takes two forms – one when the party conducting surveillance is also a party to the norm, and one when it is not. In both cases, acquiescence leads to a compromised selective flow of information that reduces privacy in public.
