Look at it this way- they basically are not allowed to say anything else. I pity them but at the same time I hope things improve for them.

Agreed. It's important to understand such things - to have compassion. It's why I also try to explain the circumstances in detail - in hopes that it may reduce the indoctrination, help them develop critical thinking further; building secret allies within the tyrant's machine.
If it's voluntary, they could voluntarily say nothing instead.
All your peers are doing it and improving their social credit scores. Do you want to fall behind your peers?
"Voluntary" under pressure or fear for safety, repercussions, of course is not voluntary.
