The “cops" will make sure that all the appropriate filters and processes are in place for the government to monitor its own citizens.

They are there to enforce regulation on the companies, not on “cybercriminals.” Or to put it another way, operating an Internet company that fails to acts as a de-facto arm of the state’s surveillance and culture-control policy is itself a cyber-crime.

Also, people who are that close to the pipe are probably the ones most likely to know how to circumvent their rules, so a bit of extra monitoring on their day-to-day surely won't hurt.
