The problem that the security forces face now is that they have to react incredibly quickly to avert a threat. To be able to do this, they have to analyse a huge amount of data very rapidly. So while on the face of it, when looked in isolation, it seems like an invasion of privacy, the fact is the information is being filtered for particular key words and trends. Within that context, its not as bad as it would appear, but of course it can and will be abused on occasion.

I don't think there is an easy answer to it to be honest.
