to protect The Netherlands against Russian and Chinese hackers
So it's a noble cause then? Or does it have privacy implications for innocent netizens? I thought these exchanges would have been tapped in some form way before this announcement?
The new law also lowers the bar for Dutch law enforcement to obtain records from these taps significantly, removing the necessity of a judge to rule whether the request is justified in the investigation.
Surely no law enforcement would overreach when given tools like these, right? Right?

Yeah the Belastingdienst would never do anything naughty with powers like these. Let them in on it too!
They've already overreached in the past.

If you consider "to play its part in the trade war between US-China which is extending into real WW 3" as noble, then yes, it's noble.
I wanna be noble, too! Where's the form to sign up as a proxy for some war?
