Being someone who makes a list like this might be the reason you get kicked out of the country (or worse?) if there is an authoritarian regime hurting people in order to silence critics.

Right. So you're either going to make a stand and risk getting arrested (Just like Thoreau!) or you're going to move somewhere this isn't happening.

Keep in mind we're talking about people with a moral framework that reduces the situation to these two choices. They'd need to abandon their sense of morality to maintain the status quo.

A lot of people live in countries that won't deport someone to the US for documenting a list of crimes against humanity performed by the US government.
