From the article:
Remember the year: 2025 was when it all changed.
When socials transformed from self-expression to entrapment.
I have to disagree with the 2025 part of this. While this admin has made the 100mi Constitution Free Zone even more hostile, practices like leveraging SM accounts against us have been ramping up for most of a decade.

For some &%*# reason, news orgs natural instinct is to defer to LEO/IC agencies - to rarely-if-ever vet agency PR and immediately forget every lie told by agency leadership. For LEO/IC in republican admins, the press will sometimes do their jobs and hold these agencies somewhat accountable (and thereby honor press' extra 1A protections).
