This long and important piece by Glenn Greenwald describes a variety of tactics used by government operatives to infiltrate, trick, and generally game internet discourse. I’ve mentioned many of the tactics I’ve spotted on the net, but there’s nothing like seeing the actual operational plan. The only problem with the piece is that Greenwald himself is likely a limited hang-out/damage-control guy. Others have said as much about the way he’s been dribbling out the Snowden material.

Also, in this piece he references Anonymous.

Well, a lot of people think Anonymous itself is an operation run by some spy agency. So, while Greenwald’s information is good, I’m sure what he reveals is only a portion of what’s going on. The real action is probably several steps ahead of us.
