I'd add a slight correction to that, less power of the LAW ABIDING people
Criminals who don't care get more room to operate since the government is so focused on 1984'ing their population that they can't monitor those operating outside the law.
Of course this is also helping the government and agencies make money through those criminals but if it ever clicks in people's heads the way to have more power is to be less law abiding then this house of cards is gonna fall quickly.
Not the opposite result...but a common repeating result; more control to the government, less power of the people.
It's never about the issue, it's always about seizing power.

They're just following the bolshevik proverb.
The "issue" is never the issue. The real issue is always revolution.
