Because of the 911 attacks on the u.s. and cybercrime, how has massive surveillance been implemented throughout the world from Afghanistan to zimbabwe? Cia, fbi, NSA, ect…? Is big brother only visual contact? How is everyone under surveillance across the world?
Five eyes?

You’re a bit confusing movies with reality.
After 9/11, governments expanded their powers to collect data, mostly through telecom companies and internet infrastructure. That means metadata, traffic routing, and patterns detection. Not agents staring at everyone through cameras.
There is no single global control room run by CIA, FBI, NSA. Each country runs its own system. Most surveillance is automated and triggered by flags. If you are not relevant to national security or crime, you are not personally watched.

Usually patterns and specific behavior, like:
- repeated contact with known criminal infrastructure, such as servers already flagged for malware, ransomware, fraud, child exploitation etc
- large abnormal financial flows
- ties with sanctioned wallets or mixing services already under investigation
- coordinated login activity across multiple compromised accounts
- traffic that matches known attack tools, exploit kits, or command and control protocols
- access attempts to protected systems, government databases, critical infrastructure networks
- communications with entities already under investigation
