    That’s fair, it’d have to be specific, Alphabet this, Meta that, Palantir and whatnot, go Flock yourself (lol).

    Though

    Well maybe that editor is in cahoots with the tormentor covering for them

    Are they with Sinclair Broadcasting or iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel Communications)? Cause…

      True, media conglomeration definitely falls under that late stage capitalism brand of mass surveillance of everyone. I guess to clarify, my “in cahoots” comment was more trying to get at that paranoid delusion that the editor is specifically trying to deceive you because the tormentor is stalking you specifically in that mustache twirling villain way and not as the byproduct of mass surveillance and mass propaganda.

        Ah lol I see. Yeah I can see how that would be a problem.

        The editor is specifically trying to deceive at the behest of his masters if for nothing more than protecting his own pockets, but not individually it’s mass campaigns and technically a true conspiracy (conspiracy means they “breathe together” when broken into root words, it doesn’t have to be “fake” they just have to be working in concert, and they are, even before mentioning COINTELPRO.)

        But if The Paranoid in question went to a protest, was facial scanned, filmed on an FBI drone with a FLIR camera from miles above, and snooped on with a Stingray because he brought his phone, and they saw him on APLRs going to and fro’, they might be watching him individually to be fair. The editor doesn’t know that of course, he only knows his role in the conspiracy, but that doesn’t mean he’s not connected in the distance and helped enable it. It’s all connected.
