I would prefer it, though. I don’t know any other way to prevent people from doing horrible things to minds running on their computers. It wouldn’t need to be publicly broadcast though, just overseen by law enforcement. I think this is much more likely than a scenario where everything you see is shared with everyone else.
Unfortunately, my mainline prediction is that people will actually be given very strong privacy rights, and will be allowed to inflict as much torture on digital minds under their control as they want. I’m not too confident in this though.
Sorry, I think I’m going to avoid discussing your point about digital minds in this post, it’s best for a separate post. There’s a number of considerations there (ASI timelines, unipolar versus multipolar post-ASI world) that would take time to discuss.
Assuming a pre-ASI world, do you have guesses for what our crux might be? I’m not convinced perfect surveillance is inevitable either, but I probably assign higher odds to it than you.

Thanks for the reply.

One of our cruxes is probably likelihood of law enforcement actually securing the data they collect, versus it being leaked.
