A panoptic system that targets individuals labeled as “charlatans”—anyone who claims psychic, spiritual, or metaphysical abilities, or who sells alternative services. The Anti‑Charlatanism Panopticon monitors conferences, podcasts, and social media, ready to “expose” the target as a fraud. It often uses hidden cameras, sting operations, and selective editing.

The goal is not just debunking but public humiliation.
