      private panopticon

      That’s the only thing George Orwell got wrong: he envisioned surveillance conducted by the state - i.e. a communist dictatorship, but what we end up with today is surveillance conducted by late-stage capitalist monopolies in cahoots with the state - i.e. a fascist dictatorship.
