There have been no arrests at UH-Hilo, but foreign students have expressed concerns. Some might say that’s no reason to worry, but the secondary affect is to quiet commentary that might be considered dissent, not voice anything in public as it may show up later on your phone, or in written notes at the university, emails, messages, etc.
It’s just one feature built into the policy.
So… if a tree falls n the forest, no one will hear.
