About the BEAST, governmental data mining operations, and other such shenanigans somebody has to actually read through what is being said.
It is likely that such agents would be reasonably intelligent, if that's the case then we could very well persuade whoever is watching of truths that are undeniable. Though I do admit that many people who are hired for such jobs are complete whores
Reaching out to the trolls and asking them to join the resistance may not have a direct effect, but it could in incremental ways have a positive influence on the system. Like a virus our ideas infect the mainframe and corrupt the system from the inside out.
That is what they are afraid of and why such operations are being done.
The more governmental bureaucrats that are sent to spy on us the greater chance we have to awaken those who stand on the opposing side to truth.
Its happening through the WEB, truth is getting harder to suppress and the more we stand up and shout it out loud the harder it will be to deny what we are saying.
Let them watch, they might actually learn something.
