a way to implement highly repressive government too - just start monitoring people with different lifestyles or "way out" opinions.
Or even better start using it to monitor opponents and discover their weak points and alliances. If you wanted a recipe for tyranny when a vindictive leader comes to power, this is it.
This is really a legalisation of the law-breaking that has been going on for decades from GCHQ, and the expansion of their data out to a huge number of government departments. There will be abuse of this system at all levels.
