I think the writing on the wall is this: we're all in some database, somewhere, which can be used to exterminate us from the face of the planet.

Someone gets into power, they don't like those 'upstart hackers' .. well then, HN seems like a pretty good resource for who goes up against the wall, then ..

Sounds interesting and to be frank .. not at all far-fetched.
