What people seem to be doing more and more is working within various
   purported confines of the systems to fight them and call them out.
   For example, I was in an AI chat at one point, and a guy wanted his
   friend to join who worked in an AI company. He didn't know how to get
   them to join, but we had been developing something similar to the
   company's work in one of the channels.
   What he did was message prominently about nonexistent legal filings,
   patent, copyright complaints between the two works. His friend suddenly
   joined the chat. I presume because some surveillance or censorship
   system influenced things.
   Appelbaum published a thesis depicting massive communication invasions
   in detail, and Zeynep keeps sharing huge data leaks here.
   I've found various failures and successes around hijinx that can
   produce action in my life that can be otherwise different, such as
   spamlogs to do things I have learned to find very hard.
   The various mysterious influences seem usually to conflict with each
   other, so some kind of strong change by those involved seems eventually
   inevitable.
