It’s control. If you were trying to set up a massive 1984 nanny state, you would be doing the same thing. Collect all the data you can, encrypted or not. Finish working on quantum computers that can break basically all standard encryption, or just set up the infrastructure to make them faster. Then task all the LLM compute you can spare to identifying dissenters and destroying / isolating / marginalizing them, meanwhile anchoring and growing your base of support. Datacenters are at the heart of all of this.
Nanny state implies some level of care from the state rather than the stripping of every bit of governmental and societal support from every single individual in order to put them into a machine to grind them all into human juice
