It is the panacea of the incompetent
Ever notice how the less competent the worker, the more resources they want to do their job? That's because, since they don't really know what they are doing, they grab at anything and everything in an effort to find something that will let them get their job done.
This regime is nothing if not supremely incompetent.
Interestingly, Robert Silverberg in his 1976 novel Shadrach in the Furnace explores some of the consequences of the information overload associated with spying on everybody.
