Well yes, absolutely startling. However I have the impression that more and more people are getting used to it, especially because the program is "only used to fight child abuse and terrorism", and occasionally - in an act of self defence - to find out if the surveilIer's girlfriend is cheating on him.
Fortunately, as an european I have to write like a monk about love, thanks to our high court, such a program is prohibited, at least officially😬.
