I was talking about the morals of it too. I just do not see it is an issue, especially when the identity of the individual was masked.
As for phone calls, you might want to double check the laws. It is indeed illegal to tap into the (wired) phone network, but listening into the mobile network isn't illegal per se as the signals are in the public domain. That is why Government security agencies like ASIO need warrants to tap someone phones but DSD on the other hand who's role is to intercept radio signals does not need the same warrants.
