On: CSAM scanning in chat apps would echo communist surveillance

> You can argue whether communism necessarily would lead to surveillance, but there is no argument that it generally has in the past.

What ideology has had a significant number of states claim to adhere to it in the modern age and not seen many of those states adopt intrusive widespread surveillance?

Seems to me that blaming one particular ideology for a near-universal feature of modern states is not helpful.
