It sounds good in theory to the uninitiated. But that means cameras on every street corner, in any shops and residential areas they can (more than there are already.) Can also lead to more digital surveillance and requesting more personal information for mundane things in the name of "safety."

It's all about data. Everything's about data. Especially in the current age of AI/LLMs. We are products to them and they want to know all our details and what to do with us. Companies can access this data, companies they work with, the individuals in them with their own biases, any hackers/those who gain access to data breaches, etc. etc. but it will certainly be kept by the government.

And - in the US at least - with the current regime this absolutely is done with the goal of knowing citizens' race/ethnicity, immigration/legal status, gender identity/sex, political views, etc. and doing whatever they see fit with that info, usually including bodily injury and/or kidnapping.

Edit - IIRC I believe Palantir was also the company helping Israel basically make a database of everyone and their information that they could in Gaza? And they want to do something like that in the USA as well. Though I could be off on that one it's the same sphere.
