It's a pretty good indicator.

Based on what? Hey, maybe the government should start poking in people's library records, right? After all, the books someone reads is a pretty good indicator of what they believe, too, right?

I'd only be "doing the same thing" here if the bulk of those likes that dealt with politics were going to liberal and left wing sites, and only one or two to right wing sites. We both know that's not the case.

But seeing as you don't know what the bulk of his activity was, only what he chose to "like" on a single social network, it's exactly what you're doing.
