This doesn&#x27;t really sound like the surveillance state to me. This is regulators combing through the e-mails of the people they regulate who control vast swathes of the United States and global economies.<p>And unless you want to bug every single person&#x27;s office which sounds a lot more like a surveillance state to me, I don&#x27;t particularly think looking at the activities of people who are taking things offline is particularly egregious.<p>The funny thing is, if the people just discussed it by e-mail, they might get away if no one ctrl-f&#x27;s for their terms!
Ha!
