Competition leads to power, leads to paranoia, leads to fear, anger, violence, and so forth. So, we will always want to keep secrets.

Cooperation is better for everyone involved, once a species is dominate, but we can't give up our nature. That is, barring some sort of genetic reprogramming, or species wide recognition of the problem and a willingness to change--similar to Vulcans choosing logic. Of course, that's fantasy.

I don't think we'll ever resolve this problem, and my guess is this is what dooms all life in the universe before it can develop interstellar travel. The very thing that leads to intelligence is what dooms a species. Which is why we seem to be alone. We really are alone in that sense.

I'm not saying we should give in to surveillance, and give up our secrets, we can't do that. Because, we either need to ALL do it, every single human, or none of us can.

Everything should be shared freely, but most things never will be.

Aerial photos should be shared, but some won't be.

Hopefully I've taught you to fish, rather than just answered your specific question.
