The issue is that if you ever cross them in a meaningful way they can just refer to this “excuse to persecute you” list and pull the trigger.

Same reason Microsoft had a dedicated datacenter recording every phone call made in Palestine.

They don’t need this to do that if things go that direction. They can make up whatever they want.
