Students are being 'used' by the Dutch intelligence service AIVD to play a role as informants

Human intelligence is a puzzle piece that is needed in each puzzle that needs to be solved, and the Dutch secret intelligence service knows how to use this at their best. The AIVD uses students that are capable of gathering intelligence that can be used again by the AIVD.
The dutch newspaper spitsnieuws.nl published the story today with the title "The AIVD uses students as informants".

A survey shows that the students who were contacted, generally felt overwhelmed and intimidated. The students were approached by people that wanted information about China, Egypt, demonstrations or gatherings squatters.
