This can also be used to explain why it's only been ''three years'' since the children where taken away. With such a small timeframe for them to have all been taken and the new living rules to be implemented on the adults, it would of had to have been done with some serious management and manpower. The kind that a government would be able to create.
One possible theory that branches off this one for why all the children are apparently being held hostage is because a deal was made on a massive scale. This could possibly have something to do with why the masks appear to be integrated with those who wear them, like how Officer Tom's brain appears to have grown into it (unless Maggie simply smashed his skull incredibly thoroughly), as the citizens may have been altered by something that was so severe, it prompted society as a whole to strike some sort of bargain in order to have a working world order again. It's possible that it could have been the entire government that offered this solution, an outside force or some people within the pre-existing government but from what we've seen of the surveillance the government was clearly involved, as a tool or otherwise.
