Without being monitored by the state, which causes them some 'concerns'...

Legal accountability; judicial, social and national security concerns - this is just more doublespeak; under the same logic, chatting to my mom (or indeed anyone) without being monitored might cause judical, social and national security concerns without legal accountability...

WTF has the world come to when these types of government statements are the norm???
