Facist state
If you think that any nation-state with the money to implement this shit isn't doing it already, I have a bridge to sell you.
Surveillance is a matter of power and maintaining it, far more than any ideological thing. There are already people being caught by this sort of shit in the UK and Europe as well.
Those are fascist states too. You can't make use of this kind of technology and still claim to be the good guys. Fascisms not a left or right thing, both sides of the aisle can slide into that kind of behavior.
Authoritarianism applies to both sides, and the middle. Fascism is a right wing authoritarian ideology.
