A lot of it is and if someone/agency in the government wants the information they could probably put it together either way, and that’s the argument people will try to make for it, but that’s not the point. This is trying to tie it the concept of the government having full and immediate control over the individual up with a neat little bow. In other words, it’s being blatant with it, and trying to make the American people okay with it.
And for me it reminds me a lot of that comment Biden made about why owning a gun doesn’t protect you from the government, along the lines of “what’s your AR-15 going to do against a fighter jet”, with the implication being that since the government theoretically can overpower you even if you own a gun, then there’s no reason to own a gun to defend yourself against the government. Like that’s completely missing the point
