They’ve been doing this for a while. And actually there’s a pretty great episode of darknet diaries that talks about how they were directly targeted by 8200 agents (taken out to dinner in New York IIRC). They were trying to find dirt on the guy.

I think the days of nation-corps openly initiating tolerated if not fully legal 'police actions' against people sufficiently disruptive to quarterly results is probably in our not too distant future. A couple generations, at most.
