Even though there is no specific, universally accepted definition of 'democracy', there are two principles that any definition of democracy includes, equality and freedom.

There is no freedom in being watched when I don't know this is happening or if I don't accept the conditions of being watched when I do know it is happening. There is no equality when there is some all-seeing-eye; especially when it (meaning they) is (are) deciding what this information is to be used for without my consent or knowledge.
