My argument is in the part of the sentence you didn't quote. When people go to vote for their government, is that implemented by sending government agents to eavesdrop on people's conversations to suss out what their political preference might be? No. People voluntarily (this is the core of my analogy) go to vote, to make their voice heard. That's the difference between voting and spying. Of course, if popcon were enabled by default, then that would be different and not like voting at all! But that's not what it said on the page you linked.
