@Fellshard makes a good point that decentralisation is often a tool, used both by people who wish to disassociate a group with its actions. Also this is true in reverse with people seeking to group people who are not actually acting as groups. That kind of deliberate distortion only makes it harder to comprehend what is really happening often, but there's still a burden of proof. Obviously organised criminals have been attempting to hide coordinated activity for the longest time too, I understand that bad actors exist who seek to pretend actions are not coordinated. But again, there are times when members of such organisations commit crimes off their own backs, which were not part of any conspiracy.
