In the SMH I read:

This would be a good situation in case of terrorists and those child porn criminals are abusing the internet, but I think that privacy of the the non-criminal civilian is also compromized.
Will this mean that VPNs will be monitored, or, worse, forbidden like in China or Turkey ?
And the real creeps seek other (darker) methods to bypass these laws.
The only way which really works is putting cameras and microphones in everyone's home, including the loo and bathroom, which obviously are DDR / Soviet ways of infringing someone's privacy.
So it will always be a balance between security and privacy, and now the balance is more and more favoring security and infringing privacy.
