Opening borders then putting everyone including your own citizens who pay you on surveillance isn't patriotic.

  The article does not mention surveilling all civilians, only that they look for new recruits which is reasonable. The article also talks about going to other countries and looking for advancements among hackers. Sounds reasonable to do as well. You want to know what others know.

    > The article does not mention surveilling all civilians He is not being recruited as a soldier, but as a civilian. This works by drip feed. To simplify, let's assume the agents are actually from the AIVD (versus a foreign government or criminal syndicate) and that the account is 100% true. First, he might be asked to recruit. A few months in, he may be asked to "to "crash a system in a public place". Then he will be told to dragnet his Tor exit nodes. If he says no the agents may be unable to continue protecting him from prosecution for crashing that system earlier. He did it as a civilian, after all. These are people used to total impunity from our rules of law. They will be self-serving and deceptive. You make your own bed by heeding the sirens' calls.
