Technically yes but what is it based on? Human nature. The vast majority has no problem with mass surveillance, just like the vast majority has no problem with climate change. Either people don’t care or they think it will benefit them in some way or they adapt. Humans are very good at adapting. Only a tiny minority is unable to and they can’t influence politics.
I’m not sure what the point is. We should just give up? We should not complain about the consent manufacturing machine? Do you really have nothing better to do than actively argue we should just resign to be chess pieces for the powerful?
I wish these titles would be more “politicians beholden to lobbyists want you invade your privacy” instead of sounding like it’s inevitable
It’s inevitable because all political parties want it. Because everyone wants to use it against their opponents.
All of the evil things happening are only inevitable so long as this manufactured resignation/consent engine continues to function.
That’s no machine, it’s human nature. Everybody wants to get rid of their opponents. Everybody thinks “If I can get my hands on this first…”.
There is absolutely a machine to manufacture public sentiment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent

So just doomerism. Frankly, that’s not useful, and all you’re doing is helping the powerful by spreading it.
