I can't work out the purpose. It feels scary and Orwellian but I don't know why they want to collect all this data. Who benefits?

In a totalitarian regime it makes sense because you can use it to prevent political opposition. But in this case, it's a democratic government that can easily be voted out. It doesn't help anyone cling to power.

Maybe I'm over-thinking, but I can't work out the point.
