wouldn't the world be better if data was open and easily accessible on everyone?

new morals would develop around reality rather than the fake image we are able to project. with constant surveillance i hope we enter into a more honest world.

No, clearly not. The mistake you're making is assuming everyone will be affected equally.

What would actually happen is some people would get burned, badly and forever, by the lack of privacy (or openness, as you call it). Everyone else will either live in fear of the possibility or go about ignorantly assuming it'll never happen to them.

There's value in being able to put your past mistakes behind you or being able to keep information from those who would do you harm.
