> which governments around the world are just waiting to crack anonymous political speech by recording and saving for later

Probably not too many, because anonymous political speech from 10+ years ago isn't that interesting. Punishing people a decade after the fact isn't very effective for anything.

Activists 10 years ago are probably still linked to interesting people the government wants to survey though, even if they are maybe less active now

It sends a very clear message: even if it takes a decade, we will find you and punish you.
