Re: EU Funding 'Orwellian' Artificial Intelligence Plan (INDECT) Yes, and houses already have windows that allow a view inside from out, therefore installing telescreens (a la Orwell) in all houses essentially changes nothing.

The point, I think, is that high-speed automatic processing combined with huge reach and data access results in qualitatively different capabilities, rather than just making things "more efficient".
Things which were previously 'public' did not necessarily end up accessible to anyone other than a file clerk front-ended by a week-long access request. When that takes a millisecond, it becomes possible to do a lot more data-mining and hence profiling.
