​Key Players

                                  Introduction

There are three kinds of key players in the game of surveillance: the watchers, leakers and us--unwitting public. The relationship of those three parties is tricky as well: the watchers are watchers because the voters—the public gave them power, but to maintain the power they try to surveillance people by using intelligent agency; the leakers were from the public, hired to work for the watchers to peep the group where they were from, so they decide to reveal the truth; and the ordinary people—you and me, we are under the surveillance, even though sometimes we are not even aware of it. 

Do the eyes behind the cameras have the right to pry into others private life? What kind of purpose do they have? And why the do the leakers think it is important for common people to know about it? And for the masses, why should we care about the public surveillance? How does it affect our daily life, or even shape the way we are thinking? What are the pros and cons of it? And if it is negative to our own privacy, what can we do to protect ourselves?
