This includes

- making donation to ukraine if you're russian

- not have your asset frozen if you protest and the canada government disagree

- protecting yourself against false accusation

- protecting again a country that would turn communist in an election (closer than you think in some european ones)

- getting an additional veil of anonymity if you have to do something illegal in your state such as abortion or defending gay rights.

so yeah this is 'against the law' but sometime the law is not on the good side.
