This is really hard problem for our society. A lot of people say 'nothing to hide', most people don't have a problem with gov. surveillance, only because we live in a semi-democratic countries and a lot of them were not hurt by communistic governments. People in Germany and Poland look differently at such things, they still remember Stasi (Ger) and SB with WRON(Pl). Clearly our governments want more power and information and it's not for our safety, this situation is reminding people that communism can be turned into democracy, and democracy into communism, very quickly.
