This is the whole idea. Weakening privacy make it easier to snoop on political activists and opositionists, so if push come to the shove, they have all the material they need to harrass, discredit of even arrest those people. Ask anyone who lived or lives under dictatorships like Egypt or pseudo/proto dictatorships like Venezuela. Claiming it's for law enforcement is only a sugar coating to sell it to the same public that'll be victimized by this. It's like claiming they're trying to "protect the children" when the real objective of Internet filtering is plain old censorship of information.
