Add a new dynastic rule called “Intercepts”
Each Cell may be Intercepting another cell, or no cell at all and by default is no one. As a Cyclical Action, a Cell may change the Cell they are Intercepting or choose to cease Intercepting any cell. If the Cell (the target) another Cell (the observer) is Intercepting goes Idle, the observer ceases to be Intercepting any Cell. Which Cell each Cell is Intercepting is privately tracked by the Ministry of Information, and if asked the Ministry of Information may privately inform a Cell which Cell they are Intercepting. Cells may not be Intercepting themselves.
In “Communications” replace “a list of Restricted Recipients, which must be a list of names of other Cells” with “optionally a Restricted Recipient, which if included must be the name of another Cell” and replace “Send the censored Message individually to each of the Cells on the Intended Recipients list via the BlogNomic DM function.” with “Send the censored Message individually to each of the Cells who are not the named Restricted Recipients (if its included) and who are either named on the the Intended Recipients list or who are Intercepting the Cell sending the Communication, via the BlogNomic DM function.”
Letting you intercept a single persons communications, but also letting you counter that if you think you know who is spying on you.
Mere opportunity cost (that the only cost to surveill Clucky is that I can’t surveill anyone else at the same time) seems cheap for how much impact this will have.

Josh: he/they
Mm.
I think Restricted Recipients should have a cost, then, maybe, otherwise you’d just put the name of every Cell not in the Intended list in the Restricted list. Maybe a Building, where for every Adherent put to work there you can have one Restricted Recipient per message?
