Surveillance Society Cartoon: Modern Crucifixion Metaphor #3030220 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white editorial cartoon shows a bearded, crown-of-thorns-wearing figure-evoking Jesus-struggling under a cross constructed from CCTV cameras, microphones, smartphones, and data servers. The imagery critiques the erosion of privacy and the moral weight of unchecked surveillance capitalism and state overreach. Signed by artist Mariette for *The Globe and Mail*, it uses stark contrast and symbolic layering to provoke reflection on contemporary digital ethics.

Used in op-ed articles, digital rights campaigns, or media literacy discussions about surveillance, privacy, and technology ethics; targets readers seeking critical commentary on societal trends.
