More seriously, a lunar colony would likely have even more intrusive surveillance than this program imposes, because a mistake that's an "oops" on Earth can be deadly when there's vacuum on the other side of the wall. (Or a hobby - "Why do we even have that drill?")

I could stand to have workplace activities monitored.  I could even stand to have activities in public spaces monitored.  I wouldn't even mind that, in the case where all my household materials need to be requisitioned, that I was pointedly asked what in Luna's name I was planning on doing with that much bleach and ammonia. But in the case where communications between my family and friends are monitored not only due to some person's paranoid delusions, but also because it will enable Corporate America to make a buck...  I think I'll take the Moon Colony over that anytime.
