I like the idea of some "wannabe Eclipse Phase style Firewall" group in Fenspace, I just think they wouldn't manage to move that much. The places with powerful AIs in Fenspace are often difficult to reach or to influence. And its always a difficult question to judge how powerful an AI is.
Since this is fenspace, it is unlikely they would be disuaded by public embarrasment even if they were discovered, because other fen woul happily respect their "fandom" and humor their paranoias. Hell, some fen like Oscar Vykos trive in creating fake (and maybe some real...) secret groups and conspiracy theories.
