RE: The dark secrets of a surveillance state (DDR)...
Now this is most definitely a "conundrum"...
The Stasi could do it because they where extremely disciplined and highly trained, there was about 1 agent for each 100 citizens... What you are proposing is not impossible, but still if its done by random "trolls" hired online? Then there should be cases where these groups have been exposed and arrested?

The problem is in tracking the groups crimes. One anonymous person spills coffee on your shirt before work. Another cuts you off in traffic and flips you off. When you have 100 agents to 1 citizen it is much harder to control. I actually found out about this from a news piece a while ago so I'm not sure if anyone has been convicted or not. I actually suspected that I was a victim of a crime similar to this at one point in my life.

You are not trolling me right now @pwny? Sounds like the Truman Show? =)
Well, the good thing about mass-surveillance (I never thought I would write that) is that it works both ways so it could also help victims of potential "private-mega-troll-groups"...?

I love that movie. lol I would hope that these groups are getting cut down by the surveillance!
