I suppose, but when discussing technology for online privacy and anonymity, it's prudent to make worse case assumptions. We can't assume that people won't be arrested, prosecuted, tortured and killed based on opinions, baseless allegations, hearsay, and so on.

Also, "vulnerable persons" aren't people who feel vulnerable, as in being emotionally insecure. They're people who are vulnerable, given their circumstances. For example, Hong Kong residents who advocate independence from China. Or male homosexuals in Saudi Arabia and some African countries.
