It's not childish. This is just the appearance because people are not afraid of "stupid" politicians as much as they should be.
In fact all these changes are consistent and all in one direction.
Information is power, and all these actions create a system where you can't avoid being identified and visible in everything you do. Then the people in power, if you somehow threaten that power, may assure that you won't anymore without any open repression, without jailing you or murdering you or even censoring you. You just won't get anywhere near visibility or power to affect the world, and it will all seem pretty natural and chaotic, so you won't even see your path being corrected so that you wouldn't affect politics.
