a post openly advocating terrorism

This says more about your own beliefs and what you read into the post than anything I actually wrote.

I am reminded of a quote from Aleister Crowley, who I imagine would know:

"The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach."

Terrorism was the first thing that came to my mind too.

I suggest that to counteract this you should portray the other side as terrorists. Those who want to build AI without considering its safety. You trying to stop them would just constitute counter-terrorism then ;-)
