The point isn't about preventing people from commiting crimes against him. It is surely that oracle database would back the data centers run by the surveillance state.

With the announcements lately, I would be unsurprised to see an edict stating “federal funding requires the use of Oracle rdbms”.
Thousands of open source projects would support Oracle in short order.
Any crime he commits can be figured out in courts with his high-priced lawyers so the idea that AI constantly watching you would be repressive seems misplaced to Larry.
For people that think I'm joking, at one point his primary philanthropic contributions were almost exclusively to life-extending efforts:
>Take the massive amount of money he once gave to life-extension research, which was the core focus of his philanthropic efforts.
>And so over the course of 15 years at the beginning of the 21st century he would donate over half of a billion dollars for anti-aging medical research, at a time when the field was seen as fringe science.
