The danger and difference is that governments that use these capabilities are dangerous. Not only can they rightly or wrongly harm individuals, they can do so for whole populations.

If you were shunned (rightly or wrongly) by your village for some observed or inferred transgression, you could go somewhere else.

There is no longer somewhere else.

Being ostracized by one's village was often a death sentence. With no mutual protection against wild animals and no stored food, only the hardy would survive.

Unless they were able to get to and integrate with somewhere else.

But now it doesn't matter, because there is no somewhere else.
