why condone this activity at all? why not just stamp it out?

  I've heard that more eyes on a problem can be very useful. Also it helps keep the government honest. (And it would probably be really hard to "stamp" out anyway.)

    Well, we could go on a witch hunt to hunt the witch hunters...but then who would be hunting us?

  because you can't stamp it out?

  Your use of the vague phrase "this activity" muddies the waters. There are two components here, a harmful one and a harmless one. The suggestion is to curtail the harmful activity without being so heavy-handed as to stamp out the harmless activity, too. By conflating them as you do, you're fighting a strawman who supposedly doesn't even want to curtail the harmful activity. But nobody is suggesting that.
