This government's police agencies have used Israeli spyware to plant incriminating evidence on journalists and activists. "National security" has come to mean "anything critical of the government".

Loose terms like "national security" are like good times that breed weak leaders. I think we must all agree that citizens have a right against persecution.

What track record does this government have that suggests they will do no wrong with their internet history logs?

Yes this is true!

Hence government needs to invest in indoctrination in order to better convince the people of the justness of their actions. Singing the national anthem, waving the flag, inventing enemies without and within - it's pretty easy to build the 'cognitive infrastructure' required to carry the day
