> people do not realize that their human rights depend on constant, vigilant awareness of what the government is doing with the super-powers granted them by the general population.
Literally every grade school history and civics class I took pounded this idea ad infinitum. I think people by-and-large just don't care because they're probably not being visibly effected even if they feel uncomfortable when it's talked about.

People happily waive their rights and their privacy in exchange for “the new trendy app” or trick, “alexa order a large pizza” was life really that hard before? We turned from physically lazy to mentally lazy and AI is just accelerating the pace. People have become “comfortably numb” to the lost of privacy, I don’t know if it’s by design but surely is a nice side effect for some.
