I think one of the most intelligence tests is probably the mirror test, because everyone passes it so handily.
I am fairly certain the body of US constitutional law focuses on balancing the harm to the individual to what must necessarily be done. Literal McCarthyism was fairly intrusive, public condemnations followed by employers refusing to hire. It would be more intrusive to elaborately ensure a person cannot achieve employment, while silently making sure the person cannot contest any accusation against him. It would be totally insane if the reigning platform monopolies (like say, Stackexchange) would silent brag about your current condition with say FBI Cybersecurity recruitment ads or (for other more social media platforms) to spoof communications. It would be completely stupid if these people work for the government, are trying to fight foreign influence campaigns to “attack legitimacy in our institutions”, by engaging in actions which would ruin not only the standing of these monopolies, but of the government itself, if made public.
