I get the Little Spies Orwell parallel, and it does give me pause. What I don't have an answer to yet is: how is this fundamentally different than the police having a tip hotline?

I also really dislike OPs headline. It implies that they're doing something much more than they are.

Both are bad. But actively encouraging people to record and snitch other people is worse.
