Thanks for your reply, but I fail to see how a dictatorship would do worst things with these recordings than a democracy, say like the USA, UK or France, where intelligence services operate outside the law as Snowden (and many others) have shown over the last decade.

Also, I see that I'm being downvoted and I would be really interested to know why I'm wrong. I mean it, I love the level of discussion here and I really like constructive criticsm.

Intelligence services may operate outside of the Law in pretty much all countries but the difference is that democracies typically have a Rule of Law as to how the data can be used against you. Not a perfect safeguard but way better than dictatorships where power has a blank check to do anything to you, anytime.
