Explain the dodgy bit here? These are all public/open forums. Open source intelligence work[1] is... routine and normal? What's the remedy you want to see? The government isn't allowed to read reddit or join discord forums? The government isn't allowed to hire people to read reddit or join discord forums?

The headline is doing a lot of lifting with "spies" and "infiltrate", but as I read the article... quite frankly everything described is not only routine, and legal, it's literally protected by the first amendment.

[1] It's a term of art. Obviously not the same thing as open source software.

Accessing netflow data "leaked" by ISPs as to who communicates with who ?

Running botnets of infected machines in order to see what certain bad actors from APTs may be doing, where they could be trying to get hired, etc ?

None of that is alleged in the linked article...

Is that supposed to be a counter point to something? It’s relevant and related capability by orgs in the industry that the article mentions.
