I'm not convinced that it would make a difference, in terms of protecting against genocide or state-sanctioned discrimination, because such metrics can be derived from a thousand other touch points, including search history, social media history/behavior, social network, and so on.
It does however harm the ability for well-meaning organizations to function.
Given current rhetoric of the current administration, the well-meaning organizations will be destroyed or severely limited. All the while their data will be used to harm people with autism.
