By definition, every offence needs to be eradicated, surely? But we don't advocate wholesale strip searches after every to the shops in case you have shoplifted anything. Or video and audio recording devices attached to everyone to monitor for any other offence that you may commit, for the sake off what ever is the cause celebre at the time.
What I am saying is that this method of data capture - every photo taken on every iPhone connected to the iCloud in the US (and no doubt the rest of the world later) will be examined is overreach and given that they will prove it works, you can be sure that it will be extended to capturing all data available from devices. Imagine taking a photo of the opposition leader in the street in Belarus and being visited by the police and being asked what your political alliances are and what you were doing somewhere?
Or even more innocently, you're at a party and take some snaps which happen to include someone the police are investigating. Suddenly you are added to the list of suspect because, well you have been connected with them as your phone has captured their image.
