When a good person disguises themself as a bad actor in order to bring about a pre-determined change in security protocols and/or procedures that have previously been identified.
The purpose of a reverse false-flag operation is to give value and momentum behind the reason for altering such policy or procedure when doing so to begin with would not have the required public support to accept those changes.

In the context of politics, a false flag candidate refers to a person who is presented as a candidate for an election but is actually working in secret for another group or organization. This can happen when a political party or group tries to manipulate an election by presenting a candidate who appears to be from a different political ideology or background than they actually are. The goal is to deceive voters and win their support by hiding the true intentions and affiliations of the candidate.

A False Flag is when someone calls attention to a "Red Flag" in an effort to manipulate opinions at to what is right and wrong. The false (red) flag is used when people are already biased to a similar opinion as the one presenting the information, or the misinformation is used to try to manipulate people into being newly biased.

A false flag is a tool often used when politicising a topic. It often makes situations more difficult instead of making situations easy because its harder to know what to believe.
