More recent reporting indicates this is not true. It appears the earlier reporting indicating this was based on a mix of bad translation and poorly identified conjecture. But mass data collection certainly enables no shortage or scary totalitarian surveillance.
Really I just wanted to share a perspective that can help handle the mental load of knowing how bad things are with mass data collection
