I don't quite understand, to what end? This is clearly a good step towards authoritarianism, but then what? People "disappearing" and more population control?

The world sometimes seems so ridiculous I can't believe it.




In the end it may just be about (corrupted) power. Those who are in power can use the data they gather through surveillance to stay in power, even without "disappearing". It's sufficient to be able to identify whistleblowers and have that be known in order for fewer people to blow the whistle.
