How's that justifiable in any way but "I feel like it'd be nice"? Like, what's the logical process that dictates that being in a group of more than specifically 10 people in likely to cause illegal activity? Why can I talk privately with 9 people, but not 10?
My point is that all this legislation is pushed as anti-criminal because it's the best spotlight to put mass data surveillance under. In reality, the powers that governments will reap from this ability stretch much further. Would you be okay with the exact same measures in real life? Should large gatherings of people require everyone to wear a wiretap, lest they conspire to commit something illegal? Should we mandate inspection of every postal package, just in case there are drugs or other illegal contents?
