I can't be sure but it seems to me that Q was exposing China's 1984 style 'social tracking system'.
Social credit score.
Google, Dragonfly? LifeLog?
They literally track your every movement, behavior, and thought through your electronic monitoring device.
They call it a smart phone. But that's not what it really is.
Think PRISON WITHOUT WALLS!
Think CATTLE TRACKING SYSTEM!
Think UPC CODE, where YOU are the product!
AND YOU PAY THEM FOR THE PRIVILEGE TO CARRY ONE!
Sick.
