According to Ball and Snider (2013), there are two parties, the state and the corporate, that have interest in creating and distributing methods of surveillance for their own profits. Through using the concept of fighting terror as a legalized excuse they monitor and surveil the innocents to achieve their benefits. Technology is playing a huge role in the process of this surveillance. Therefore, the surveillance notion is already based in technology without people being aware of to serve certain corporates and ruling elites.
Hache and Jansen (2018) presented risks on audience due to such forms of surveillance. First, these monitoring methods are based at all the media platforms that the public engage with which makes it impossible to be excluded from such acts which leads to personal collection. Therefore, this collection of private data and surveillance act could prevent the audience from the free deliver of their voices which puts them at high dangers and could actually discriminate certain groups of individuals.
