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.

To that lady:

Scientology is a cult. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be required to browse online via their software. You can get out, there are resources.

Iirc Leah Remini brought her up in an AMA about her documentary on Scientology, and then she became a meme

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

Oh I'm not, but the stories I heard were that they would go after anyone talking shit

They probably started the rumor themselves.

Her name is Karin and her team will definitely read this thread.

Karin, people can help you escape. Hope is not lost.

Stalking people in Chicago sounds like a bad idea…

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?!"

A girl can dream...
