===Controlling the narrative===
During anti-CCP protests in [[San Francisco]] surrounding the 2008 Olympic torch relay, former U.S. intelligence officials said Chinese security officials monitored and directed counterprotesting blocs of thousands of Chinese students to drown out [[Beijing]]’s critics, which ''[[Politico]]'' called an “operation … by a hostile foreign intelligence service to forcibly suppress [[First Amendment]] activities in a major American city.”<ref>https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/07/27/silicon-valley-spies-china-russia-219071/</ref> U.S. law defines “conspiracy against rights” as conspiring to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person … in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same” or going “in disguise … or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured.”
