Which country in the world has the least surveillance by all means?

[kenny1999]

It's easy to name a few powerful countries on the earth from the Google search that they have the most cameras in their countries. However, I can hardly find out any information about which country in the world has the least survelliance by all means, e.g. cameras in the street, surveillance on the internet activities.

I think the answer is here: The 15 Poorest Countries in the World - WorldAtlas

Or you can also look into population density.

I really wonder if there is any street camera in those African countries to look at the people around.

My first hit checking online was CCTV cameras installed in Somalia. Then I really had to wonder why you have to really wonder when you can just check.

Oops, great data sheet

Papua New Guinea has the highest rural population in the world (86%). I suspect that makes it difficult to surveil the population.

There are websites that list all surveillance cameras and/or private CCTV cameras with screwed/weak configurations that you can simply log on to and watch what their "owners"..
