I'm not naive enough to expect this data to remain private .. but considering Americans are being verbally harassed and physically assaulted in public for attending public talks in universities held by student groups of mainstream parties, or wearing a hat in support of the president elected by of 48% of voters in the country, its not hard to see how people could be targeted with this information.
It happens online too, people are getting banned from video game forums merely for expressing support for particular elected officials and their entire administrations [1]. We're well beyond the era where extremism / hate get you banned, the bar is being lowered and lowered to the point of speaking positively about a political group = banning.
