  Just because they are routinely used for such does not mean it is their primary purpose.

      No. The Internet is routinely used for porn but it is not its primary purpose.

    when we know that govts want this capability, when we know that govt regulators are in the same room with telcos when plans are being drawn up, when we know govt uses these capabilities routinely, why would you doubt it was there for that purpose? isn't this a good time to round up the usual suspects? If the govt intervenes to get this capability and also declares that this should not be the primary purpose, I guess that would make it a secondary purpose? OK, I feel better now, phew!
