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.
