intimidating everyone is a lot of work, but having them on the list can be useful to disperse wherever they plan on doing next, or purge attempts to organize in a more decentralized way.

it can even be used to manipulate or target certain cohorts with propaganda and stuff in a way not possible before, or nab them off the streets. surveillance brings control.

Manipulated, you say? With propaganda?

Well, clearly this is a bridge too far! The Trump administration can never get away with this!
