Unfortunately, Bisq's twitter admin has stepped into this drama.
Quick update on this: https://nitter.it/bisq_network/status/1552708493877989377. Kudos to Bisq for jumping on this so quickly. And some of the reactions from the Samourai guys over a single tweet is pretty childish and pathetic.

Wasabi is not spying on you and with Tor enabled they don't even know your real IP address.
Centralized exchanges are spying people for sure. they are blacklisting, freezing coins, closing accounts, and most people are still using them.
You don't need an IP address to spy on someone. And Wasabi have already clearly stated that they are/will be paying blockchain analysis companies to analyze your UTXOs and tell them the history of each and every one of them. If that's not spying then I don't know what is.

Let us call it "permissioned" fungibility or "selective" fungibility - the coins that got through Wasabi Wallet filter should now be considered fungible because their previous history is unknown or uncertain. All other coins, including those coming from competitors such as Whirlpool, are obviously not.
It certainly seems like this is the narrative they are trying to push; that they are the sole arbitrators of what is and is not fungible. As I said previously, as far as I am concerned this viewpoint is actively malicious.
