When I read stuff like this, I tend to wonder "how did they find out?"

I feel it's something I've noticed recently- whenever, in a news article, they mention "so-and-so did this online," I wonder, how?
Was she specifically targetted and put under surveillance because of some other intelligence? Was there some bot monitoring craigslist for "jihad?"
Youtube comments are worse than 4chan sometimes. If you manually watched every poster on there, you'd need more computing power than god (god is a computer in this paragraph).
From December 2008 to October 2009, LaRose engaged in electronic communication with the five co-conspirators about their shared desires to wage jihad and become martyrs, according to the indictment.
So, were these conversations obtained after the fact? Was someone intercepting them?
Hm.
So, ignoring the frightening implications if we assume the worst, how exactly do they catch people like this?

The conspiracy began in June 2008, when LaRose posted a comment on YouTube under the username JihadJane saying she is "desperate to do something somehow to help" Muslims, according to the indictment unsealed Tuesday.

LaRose traveled to Europe in August and "tracked the intended target online in an effort to complete her task," the statement said.
According to the indictment, LaRose told the co-conspirator who ordered the murder that she considers it an "honour & a great pleasure to die or kill for" the co-conspirator and pledged that "only death will stop me here that I am so close to the target."
The killing did not occur, and LaRose was arrested about two weeks after the electronic message was sent.
