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.

I'd be surprised if Oracle's cloud infrastructure even relied on Oracle DBs.
