I'm wondering how much this has to do with the flash mobbings that have fueled a lot of Arab Spring and the Occupy movement. Everybody Twitters everybody else, and they swarm on a place in such numbers they can't be controlled.

Bingo! I'm not going to get into the politics of this, but this is meant to prevent such movements from being able to organize in mass. Thus preserving Gov't control and power.

US Gov't already has lots of control over their citizens in ways that completely embarrass the constitution. Why not seal the deal :)

Exactly what this is meant to do, seal the deal.
