The major difference is embarrassment. People don't like when other people see them in private, but they don't care if computers see them in private, so computerized surveillance is a lot more acceptable to people.
Good point. The benign neutrality supposition is a powerful factor I
forgot. It was Weizenbaum who first wrote about this when noticing
the relation between his secretary and the Eliza program.
