Nowadays they're trying to enforce social media and messengers to require your phone number (most of them do this already anyway), and to get SIM-card you need your ID document. This way they can track down who posted a link to "Putin's palace", for example. And thanks to enforced data localization they may not even need help from social platform itself - they pwn hard drives. The difference between this and Apple's data collection, for example, is that Apple cannot use this information to imprison or kill you. At least until they deploy automatic scanner for cp in your photos.
