This also happens in Oz, the government scrapes all ISP browsing metadata. I can't wait to see what happens if/when that data leaks. I'll keep using a VPN thanks.

We can guess: denial, distancing, some weak laws and then nothing. Nobody _ever_ goes to jail. I imagine the five eyes are all sharing this data too.
It's only a matter of time that all data is eventually leaked, in the same way that all things eventually die. Sure, some good eating and exercise slows the process in the same way good security practices does, but eventually a mistake will be made.
This is again why the web needs to get itself decentralized, it'll be faster and securer. We'll get there eventually.
