They seem pretty competent at spreading misery and pain so far.

That may be so, but the problem is getting a statistically significant number of people to participate and go unnoticed. People are already being arrested for interfering with ICE. If they have a bad employee, they will get fired. If they think that employee intentionally let people get away, they will be arrested. If they think there is a conspiracy to create hundreds of bad employees (which is what we are doing here), then they will investigate and find a reason to arrest en masse.

If it's something serious, yes.

Good, then it is a bit less of a bad tool in this instance. Just don’t lose the habit of checking your sources—it’s a slippery slope.

Do you ask for the sources every time?

But you can’t see the source of the information, which means it could be a reputable source, or it could be Joe-Sucks-His-Own-Dick from Reddit. In another comment, I pointed out that AI was telling people to put glue on pizza to keep the cheese from falling off—if you can see the source, you are much more likely to understand the veracity of the information.

Not trusting Chat-GPT results, which are known to hallucinate false information, as your primary search method is a silly take? AI was telling people to put glue on pizza to keep the cheese from falling off. If you can see that the source of that information is a Reddit shitpost, you are way more likely to make a good judgment call about the veracity of that information.

If you want searches without sponsored results, use SearXNG or an equivalent that strips out the ads.

Talk about being part of the problem.

It is definitely a fun thing to think about, just not realistically feasible as the person I was responding to was hoping for.

Yes, the knick-knacks are my most prized possessions. Crystal balls, monkey skulls, old clocks—these are the building blocks of my happiness. Nothing brings me more joy than a perfectly arranged curio cabinet. It is like an OCD orgasm.

They have been taking pictures and using facial recognition at protests, they are adept at scouring people’s online footprint, and they have thousands of employees. How do you plan to get a statistically significant number of sympathetic people into their ranks undetected, and then keep them there as they throw a wrench in the works?

This is a pipe dream.
