Of course they are. They're out to do anything and everything they can to weaken the citizens and strengthen the government, and they'll take every opportunity they get to accomplish that.
If this was some third-world shithole, they'd just start massacring people until the rest fell in line. But they can't do that and get away with it, so they have to move incrementally. They can't take power all at once, but instead have to con us into giving it to them, a little at a time. So that's exactly what they do, a little at a time.
I like how they're trying to break encryption. Once they break something, they need something secure for themselves; that trickles to the citizens. Tor may or may not be broken now, but that was a technology for the US Navy and it's been a thorn in their side to today. Once it's completely broken, I assume the next government dedicated system will be used by the people.
