The book Deep Green Resistance goes into various organizing techniques (agree with them or not, it's a fascinating read on the history of leftist movements with quite a bit in the way of practical techniques), but this is one of the reasons why you need multiple different layers within a group - some core trusted layers, and then what amount to messengers who handle communication with that sort of person, with only what's needed.
And "the silence is the signal" is a reason one really needs to start cultivating these habits in ones social circles of not using social media, not posting everything online, etc. It's long past time to reject the draw of social media as intermediating everything, and either start hosting your own stuff at small scale, or simply not using consumer/networked tech for anything important.
