"Questionable activity" is an easily abused term for power-tripping assholes. Especially with right-wing politics becoming so prevalent world-wide, it's easy (for example) to imagine a scenario where a group of LGBTQ+ types are targeted for harassment - being forced to choose between losing their safe haven or outing themselves & putting themselves at risk of far worse.
