I've certainly seen this sort of idea being discussed by people in personal conversation but never seen it discussed as far as I'm aware in much of the literature on cryonics- there's very little anti-cryo lit out there.
The argument is weak, since it implies that a society will be vindictive and extremely technologically advanced. This doesn't seem to be a common option. The more common version of this argument talks about reviving people for slave labor, and in that version of the argument, the same essential problem is even more severe.
