| German domestic intelligence is running hundreds of fake right-wing extremist social media accounts |
| 2022-09-21 |
| [Remix] Hundreds of the radical Nazis and right-wing extremists online are actually German domestic intelligence agents, and many of them may even responsible for "inciting hatred" and even violence. These agents, who once needed to drink and directly socialize with members of the extreme right, are now running right-wing extremist accounts online in Germany. Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) argues that these accounts are needed to gather information, but critics say that they may also be promoting and actively encouraging radicalism, according to a report from German newspaper Suddeutshce Zeitung. "This is the future of information gathering," an unnamed head of a relevant state office told Suddeutsche Zeitung. |

| #7 "This is the future of information gathering," Easier and safer than actually getting into the field and figuring out who is a blow-hard and who is an actual danger. |

| #2 "In fact, there are now so many accounts operated by different German authorities that a nationwide agreement has become necessary. Otherwise, these different agents would be targeting each other with surveillance and monitoring." Deconfliction, meine Damen und Herren, deconfliction! |
