        Geordi is probably also guilty of mass surveillance. He admitted to peeking at the cards in poker for curiosity so how can we know that he wasn’t tempted to look through a duratanium door or wall every now and then?

              Are we talking about how he used AI to recreate his special lady friend the engineer who designed the ship, and then he eventually meets her for real and she’s like “yeah you’re super creepy dude.” Or are we talking about some other weird shit Geordi does?

                To be fair, didn’t Barclay turn himself into a panopticon by enmeshing his brain with the ship’s computer that one time? Is it a loophole in “mass surveillance” if you just happen to have eyes all over a starship?

                  His excuse (in retrospect) was “Alien technology did this to me, so how can I refuse?!” 😄 Plus, the mass surveillance existed on the ship before him and all crew members seem to be fine with that when signing on. Given who he was before and during the event in question probably caused a few people, like Deanna, to ask Geordi to do in her quarters what he did in the conference room for privacy.
