For those curious, a significant percentage of the commenters seem to think that this is exactly equivalent to the Stasi.

Which, to me, really illustrates the astroturfing going on.

I can go months without ever seeing any reference to the Stasi and, in this single comment section, I see dozens of references? There have been plenty of similar programs through history but a bunch of "Americans" point to the same German group to illustrate their point? It doesn't add up at all.

Turns out a lot of them can't even spell Stasi right.
I wonder if this is due to a team hired by a competing billionaire?
