How many millions of people do you think it would take to monitor everyones activities online? I'd think if they are online, they are looking
specifically at people already known to them as either threats or criminals. Considering the human resources they have, that's all they are capable
of.

Adding on to this...
So, the Idaho serial killer. It is now believed that he was very active on social media - before, during, after the killings. He was very active on
Reddit and in FB crime groups (under fake names of course). People took screen shots before things were scrubbed....but his posts made it so obvious
he was probably one to be watched if not the killer. In fact, some people called him out "you sure are acting like you are the killer". No, you wont
hear this from LE. But I have been reading all of this - after the fact on crime forums/groups.
Was LE/FBI camping out on reddit/FB groups reading and watching him? Maybe. Id assume someone alerting them.
But like you said, there is not enough manpower to just sit and read every post on the zillions of forums, comment sections, groups, etc. They would
have to be actively looking. And far too many people think they are a threat in the conspiracies they talk about. Nah. Talking about conspiracies
does not threaten 'them' and cause them to watch you. They know the verbiage and style and tone they are looking for. And I rarely have seen that
*here*.
I sometimes post/read on another site - a small time news site (they just repost news) and have a comment section. Everyone there swears the FBI sits
around reading their comments. I roll my eyes because none of them are making threats. None of them are dropping secrets. They are just sitting
around a campfire bull#ting thoughts like the rest of us.
If im going to drop something to catch some eyes - it would not be here. It would be Twitter.
