Common Purpose

They are simply lying. They want to get rid of encryption, so that they can obtain data points to calculate a factor in your social credit score.

Did you send a photo with a BBQ you've been doing in your garden? Oh you supposed to reduce meat in your diet! We know that from your connected health data. That's minus 20 points for you and your coming salary will be programmed to no longer work on meat products. If you buy sugary products your salary will be set to expire in month's time.
