It is also possible that the people who designed this genuinely believe that they are doing good. A thought process like this "imagine our country with super nice citizens - citizens who are respectful to elders, don't read bad stuff, don't do bad stuff, are polite, have good credit score etc etc. our country could be a model country for others, we'll truly create a society where everyone is nice to everyone else" or something along those lines. They probably thought it is for the greater good. Just one scenario.
