Tja, a lot of people here think it's a good thing because there unfortunately are a lot of asshats, and so they don't give it a second thought. The simple fact is that in the Netherlands people have a great general trust in people, and it has a long history of independence, so there's simply no fear of democracy breaking down.
And from that perspective it is totally reasonable to want the extra surveillance. As long as you trust that it is used for good.
Honestly I think Berlin is the one that is in the right position to move privacy forward, given its history, culture, and significant hacker demography.
