People fail to see these folks as terrorists but they're literally trained, paid and lead by the same US politician who oversaw the Contra programs.
If you're a legitimate user of this site, please read: these attacks are coordinated with the media which repeatedly calls them "clashes", "anger boiling over", "confrontations" and "suppression (by the government)".
It's even easier to co-ordinate such messages online. Not a day goes by without stories and comments about China on this site. There's little doubt the same media coordination goes on in social media, including here. It's a weakness--perhaps deliberate--in the Internet and how we build communities.
We are all worried about privacy, etc. But when has there ever been concern over Western astro-turfing and manufacturing consent online? I've yet to see it. Repeatedly we see stories of US/NATO intelligence infiltrating and abusing power within social networks to manipulate perceptions.
Where is the platform the protests against this?
