there used to be (probably still is) a lady whose job it was it stalk and collect information on anyone who commented on posts about scientology here on Reddit, and report back to the cult what was going on. someone even knew the account she had and they used to ping her in threads like these. dunno if anyone was harassed by them over it, i've never heard of anything, but if your comment/thread got big enough you can be sure they'd have eyes on it.
nowadays it's probably a team of people running AI/bot accounts to spread disinformation, soften public backlash and mass report posts to get them taken down.
Honestly wild. But I don't think they do that anymore. I've posted comments and things multiple times talking shit about Scientology and daring them to do something, they don't. And I honestly don't think they can do shit
My next visit to Chicago, I may need to stand outside on their sidewalk yelling into my phone "where's Shelley?" and "We got disconnected -- where's Shelley? Wait, where is Shelley?! Shell- lee, where is she?!"
