>would you also be OK with the Saudies or the Russian FSB knowing this
I think almost everyone has more to fear from someone they know (who is out to get them) than foreign governments. There's not a lot of Edward Snowdens in the general public.

Additionally the FSB could very well use this data in their persistent campaign of psychological warfare against the entire country. They're smart people, and if they're not using this resource already they probably will by the time the 2020 election heats up.
Lol
The Russians are coming!
Our adversaries and strategic competitors probably already
are looking to the 2020 US elections as an opportunity to
advance their interests. More broadly, US adversaries and
strategic competitors almost certainly will use online
influence operations to try to weaken democratic
institutions, undermine US alliances and partnerships, and
shape policy outcomes in the United States and elsewhere.
