So how much of Reddit, Twitter.. etc.. are government operatives trolling each other?
I remember days of online child porn investigations where everyone (or 9 out of 10-ish) in the chat room where actually law enforcement people. I expect the same in any extreme fringe group online.
For the record: I am not currently working with any law enforcement / security / government organization.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
