So you trust the govt to do right by you. What about the next govt? What if UKIP got in power?

Honestly I think this information is actually too dangerous for anyone to have - companies or govts. I'd like to see this kind of level of information gathering made illegal.

I don't 'trust' them blindly, but if information gathering is necessary for such a service to exist, then I think it's better if the service is provided by a democratic agency than a private company. Nobody is forced to use it.
It would certainly streamline the UK's current practice of jailing people for hate speech
