Abstract
In his novel, 1984, George Orwell, points out: "Big brother is watching you". He spoke about a society where each house was in surveillance and where the political parties controlled every situation. He also added, "In the past, no government had the power to maintain the citizens in a permanent surveillance and now, the mind's police control everybody, constantly." By "surveillance", we mean the act of observing or the condition of being observed. It is also any collection and processing of personal data, identifiable or not, for the purposes of influencing or managing those whose data have been garnered. We adopt close observation of a person or a group, especially one under suspicion, to obtain information about his nature, position, movement, using electronic means. One of the aims of this net of surveillance is the social control which refers to social mechanisms that regulate individual and group behavior, leading to conformity and compliances to the rules of society.
