Yeah, to me that seems like a much bigger issue, considering that all communications are moving on the Internet (even "voice" calls). But I suppose they are pushing for this first, because a lot of politicians are old, and fear the phone spying much more than they fear the Internet spying.

That is probably true. And so frightening. Basically, those politicians don't really know how tech works and what the real dangers are. And they're supposed to protect the citizens with their decisions...
Plus, when you get old, you have much less of an incentive to think "long term", obviously. There should probably be some rule that restricts older politicians to a "consulting-only" role.
