Speaking in general, the "big deal" of criminal/immoral behavior is in the extent of it, and in the borders it crosses, specifically referring to acts that everyone does.
Everyone does (at least) minor law breakages during life, but that doesn't mean that if somebody, say, evades taxes for millions of dollars is not a big deal just because everybody does that for a few hundred bucks.
Some activies, for example torture and mass surveillance, are definitely crossing moral borders - at the very least, the way have been applied (and this is quite a generous statement).
