You’ve got to be kidding. The East Germans, Beria, and Stalin couldn’t even imagine a surveillance paradise like this.
The equipment was expensive back then - and even worse, it was very risky to plant it. Then, there were the issues of maintaining it, also risky and expensive. We buy, install, maintain, and even pay for the bandwidth of our surveillance equipment ourselves!! HOW could it get any “better”?

AND ADDED: The Obama/Biden construct, however, is lightyears more invasive and broad based.
