Western governments salivating at the thought of having that kind of control over it's citizens. I can just say that I'm happy that that kind of lock down isn't something I have to deal with, at least for now.
Western governments don't need that. They already have access to all you do on your device via backdoors and agreements with vendors and software providers. They could know absolutely everything about any "free citizen" they wanted.
You still have he choice to not use the software that has those back doors. There are plenty of open source alternatives that prevent spying.
