    Well, if they want to intimidate everybody who says anything anti-Trump…they’re going to be very busy. What I’m worried about are leaders of movements.

      intimidating everyone is a lot of work, but having them on the list can be useful to disperse wherever they plan on doing next, or purge attempts to organize in a more decentralized way.

      it can even be used to manipulate or target certain cohorts with propaganda and stuff in a way not possible before, or nab them off the streets. surveillance brings control.

        Manipulated, you say? With propaganda?

        Well, clearly this is a bridge too far! The Trump administration can never get away with this!
