This is where it leads, folks. If we're ok with them using these tactics against Muslims, that brings them that much closer to using these tactics against anyone who isn't buying what the powers that be are selling (and for all I know that may already be happening).
For those who think the tactics would be not be effective against us, they're missing the point. The willingness to use such tactics is the point. If one tactic is not effective for a particular situation, they'll use a different one. Armed with knowing everything that we do that leaves any kind of digital footprint, dissent can and will be crushed. Stop spying on us already.
