I do agree that wire tapping is an important escalation and that authoritarianism becomes more effective the more you can spy on people.
But “it all started with” can imply causation, and i don’t think we can blame surveillance tech for the boiling pot of authoritarianism.
Nothing as big as a global trend can be mono-casual. I suspect that big things like resource scarcity/bounty, social inequality, aggregate stress levels in society, etc are also important in turning up the heat on that pot.
