What's surprising?

Why is that so amazing? Do you fantasize about a "Rule 34 Squad" existing in real life?
People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

I assume this is a new SF/crime novel. But there's already a Rule 34 Squad in all but name, in the sense that the police already investigate internet porn sites they think might be illegal. I can't quite see what's so amazing about this.

"Hugo winner Stross blends plausible near-future SF and crime in this brisk sequel to 2007's Halting State. In the mid-2020s, the police monitor the Internet full-time to prevent crime. In Edinburgh, this job falls to DI Liz Kavanaugh's Rule 34 Squad (whose name refers to the Internet truism that "if it exists, there's porn about it"). "
I'm sorry, I just had to share this. I'm too amazed.
