Do they even have the technology to invade your privacy the same way we do in the more developed parts of the world?

Lol this country has some of the best state sponsored hacking groups and the ability to build nuclear weapon. Its not like they are living under a rock technologically.

The government just doesn’t provide much of anything to its citizens as a form of control.

I’m not saying the expertise doesn’t exist. The point is that so much of our personal information is given up because of how technology is ingrained in our every day lives, so every move you make is recorded somewhere. If the general population doesn’t have that kind of access to technology, then you can’t record their every movement.

Though access is limited, they do have the tech thanks to their friends to the north. I can’t find the link, but they have their own Great Firewall implementation

No, so they invade it in simpler, more pervasive, ways

You don’t need technology you when you have indoctrination. At that point every single other human being becomes a potential point of privacy violation to the secret police.

Your roommates, your wife, your children, your friends, every one becomes a potential data leak, and unlike digital technology, humans can look for dirty laundry in places cameras and listening devices can’t.
