Well she could but "We wants it because...

We wants it" would make her sound like a power mad dictator with a Stalin sized desire for control of everyone.

Which might make people disinclined to pass this Bill without drastic reductions in powers and gagging.

Nevertheless that's the bottom of data fetishism. The believe that more data is always better and all data (all the time, stored forever) is best.

Put that way does it not sound like a delusion caused by a mental illness?
