The usual allegations, also as usual either wrong, or just made up, by a govt always looking to advance it's grip by all and any means - it's a tired psy-op based on the increasingly precarious assumption that the 'authorities' making these statements have any credibility with the public at large they spend their time blatantly exploiting.

This seeming scattergun approach to incrementally increasing state control is difficult to stop though, as although many people are tired of the totalitarian farce the country is degenerating into, the method of looking for any chink in the armour and using it to increase their hold over public life, using 'behavioural science' techniques and nudging opinion on things people know little, or nothing about, appears to be worthy of repeated attempts in their eyes.

Who knows how much more they can impose, or how much worse things can get before broad public opinion shifts enough to change the political culture to a useful degree.
