Difference is that with the above you’d have a party that actually discloses what data is accessed so having the ability to access it doesn’t immediately turn into mass surveillance and the people (e.g. opposition politicians) would at least be able to bring attention to the fact by making the reasons for the surveillance be revealed in a court hearing.

Of course I have 0 belief that it wouldn’t get hijacked/corrupted by horrible people anyways so whatever.
