There is another lesson in this - technology is a great deterrent to make coercion much more costlier. Sure in this case you might sympathise with the agents being hurt, but the root causes of this are far removed.

Governments apply bad policies, they enforce complete doxing on every corner with kyc, companies thrive on harvesting all the data, we have created the society which enables this and created the bad policies that need enforcing this. Its a bell that cant be unrung. The tech and data are out there, what needs to change is the society.
