It's called decussation. Why do brain control centers on one side of the brain control the opposite side of the body? What's the purpose of having the optic chiasm? There hasn't been a good explanation, although this person thinks he has an answer.
East Germany could only dream of this capability. Congress is contemplating the EARN IT Bill, which will permit spying on email, messages and photos. All for our security, of couse. To look for child porn, of course. So they'll need to see everything.
