Could push for increasing surveillance be related to the recent adoption of digital social credit, CBDC (digital currency), and predictive policy systems in EU countries such as itlay, Netherlands, denmark, and the US?

It makes a lot of sense if you look at it as countries trying to replicate success of Chinese growth and systems which are highly centralized and depend on the above factors.
