This is a political problem. You can't technology your way out of laws without living entirely apart from society as an outlaw.

Private devices worked so long as the west had some sort of interest in maintaining the illusion of "freedom of speech" and other such things to promote their liberalism and hegemony to the world and their own citizenry. Now that it's time for hard power, for crushing dissent like pro-Palestine movements, cracking down on people's access to how much better things are getting in China while things get worse for them that is no longer an option.

This kind of infrastructure could be misused — especially in less democratic countries.

why is then that the so called "less democratic countries" are not implementing this? the only examples in the article are south korea and singapur which are somewhat implied to be exceptions. does the writers actually read what they write at all?

Less democratic countries such as the UK, which has a monarchy and an upper house of parliament made of hereditary lords and representatives of the state religion.
