I remind everyone of Brendan Eich. He donated money to a popular political cause and a few years later, after the political winds have shifted, a leak about this lead to him being forced out of his job.

Ubiquitous surveillance will make future McCarthy-style witch hunts possible and arguably it even makes them likely.
