'Surveilled' trailer highlights smartphone spyware

Srteaming service HBO joins forces with US investigative journalist Ronan Farrow in this documentary on an issue that affects nearly all of us - even though we may be sceptical or unaware. Anyone raising questions around privacy, surveillance and data misuse can be subject to having the dismissive 'conspiracy theorist' label slapped on them, while our general dependence on smartphones makes us reluctant to accept the infringements they imply - and may increasingly be designed for. What do you think of the 'Surveilled' trailer? Will similar documentaries be springing up all over the world with each nation claiming righteousness and alarm even as governments and corporations cluster closer together for mutual benefit, or is it only the USA that is raising concerns and identifying 'enemy' foreign agents? Many will argue that the USA is a prime mover in spyware technology and data-gathering. Maybe you just think it's an effective trailer for an intriguing real-life horror story, or unnecessary exaggeration of potential dangers. "Satchel Ronan O'Sullivan Farrow is a son of actress Mia Farrow and filmmaker Woody Allen, and he is known for his investigative reporting on sexual abuse allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein, which was published in The New Yorker magazine," (Wikipedia)
