Around 100 years ago someone invaded your privacy to protect you - and they never left.
It isn’t a coincidence that the kind of knowledge a character is known to possess is not entirely obtained in a consensual manner. Surveillance has been around for a long time.

It was during the days of the Civil War in the United States of America that both sides would tap into the other side’s telegraph lines to intercept communications.

But all of that changed with the popularity of the telephone towards the last couple of decades of the 19th century.
