The "Kompromat" angle should not be ignored in this day and age.
"In cases of kompromat during the early 21st century, Russian operatives have been suspected or accused of placing child pornography on the personal computers of individuals they were attempting to discredit." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompromat
The only real question is how easy it would be to target the undesired via the ad placement targetting options on social media platforms. On the one on which I've run ads (LinkedIn), pretty hard. At least on a technical level, because if your audience size is too small it asks you to expand your criteria. Maybe other platforms are less strict?
For sure would be a more comfortable approach for state operatives than physical access.

Aside. Watch the movie with the same name. Use an ad blocker, religiously.

Yes that is the one. I'm surprised by the low rating on IMDb. Well produced movie, with an interesting real-life inspired premise, a bit of thriller.
