It's actually quite simple - capturing data about you, **without your awareness or consent** essentially breaks the warrant process, and therefore breaks the constitutional protections citizens **normally** expect, from government advising power.

If you don't have a problem with that, you clearly don't see this problem. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist though.

Note that the Third Party Doctrine basically means law enforcement agencies can gather a lot more information about you than they could before Google, Facebook et al existed.

This is not a GPL concern, in general, but it is something every citizen of a democratically elected government should be concerned about.
