I am not sure why you are getting downvoted as this is an astute analysis of the situation. I had the same thought: if the person you are relying to is helping promote say a cigarette company advertising to tweens and the brigading group is mothers against child smoking then I would be inclined to support what that group is doing to stop the marketing campaign. Similarly if the advertiser is trying to advertise something like The Big Lie which is actively harmful to the US democracy, and well, a lie, then I would also want to support the group trying to report the campaign.
This doesn’t cast a value judgement on whether any of this is good or bad, just that you’ll never get an objective measure of the situation based on just what the person you are replying to have us.
No. I am pointing out that based on the info provided and your own bias you might find the clients or the brigading groups that were talked about above to be either in the right or in the wrong. The way that comment was worded, it’s impossible to tell who the real victims are.
Also I think it can be argued that democracy and mob mentality are pretty damn related :)

This is implied in the fact that no details were given, so I just find it incredibly strange that anyone would consider it an "astute comment". I suppose you must be referencing others in the thread who think they (or Facebook) can simply request a few details and efficiently judge correctly right or wrong.
