The most terrifying thing about CoCs for me is their seeming ability to extend outside of the project and into the personal lives of the contributors. Expressing the wrong political/religious view on social media could attract a mob to hound you off of an arbitrary project you contribute to. For example, simply stating that you support Trump on Twitter could be sufficient to make people feel unwelcome according to some CoCs and get you kicked out.
