I meant it the old school way, meaning "Hmmm, it sounds like you know a lot about the subject; you sure you're not a fed honeypot yourself?" Kidding of course.

Ahhh haha, I definitely would not want to be part of any intelligence agencies, I like my sleep thank you very much! :)

I work in the tech industry which is why/how I know a decent amount as to how this all works. But yeah in theory it would not be hard for the feds to break into any website, they could easily contact each tech firm/organization at every layer of the stack (domain registrar, web host, DNS hosts, etc.) and demand access to either redirect or take direct control; and if said providers acquiesce, then creating an exact replica would not be too out of the realm of possibility or even hijacking it directly altogether, either way.

The result would be almost the exact same and hard to detect by the average user. If I am being completely honest here (which I am), communicating over modern tech (even phones due to audio to text transcription technology - which means a call that contains certain words would get 'flagged' and then forwarded to a human - probably an agent - for further review and analysis) is not 100% safe anymore concerning political matters. I always get a bit worried that posting on here and even looking at certain websites may come to bite me in the ass one day in the future. It is what it is... I just hope all these rumours about the military actually being in charge are true because if things don't change real soon, the future is going to be one gigantic (and horrifying) made in China piece of shit society.
