I'm really okay with this. Taxes are the price we pay for civilisation and people dodging them are stealing from you.

Surveillance of money, and surveillance of speech, association, location, etc. are not the same, and one does not justify the other.

I believe they were saying that they were OK with the Swiss banks giving info to the IRS about tax dodgers. Which I'm ok with too. I'm not ok with random web traffic being disclosed to authorities.
