I like free speech. I'm on a 1st amendment guaranteed free speech website and I can scrap with diehard trump supporters on there which is quite fun. There are people who love trump of course and there are also people on the right who are aware that trump is a zionist pet. It's nice being able to disagree with people but without being banned for having the wrong opinion. This way, I develop a better understanding of how others think.
How is targeting dissidents a revenue source? Not in most countries surely?
States with large pools of disposable income and businesses with big PR budgets will pay top dollar to squelch activists and opponents.
How much is Palantir getting paid? How much is Black Cube getting paid? There's always a pricetag on this work and plenty of organizations - especially fascist governments - are happy to outsource the work to friendly contractors.
