Infiltrating, stealing and wreaking general havoc; no, they come with a level 2 tech (Planetary Networks); Miriam because she gets +1 probe to start and her ideal is Fundy (+2 Probe)
Nerve stapling if you are a tyrant; specialists if you're not.

dont forget their defensive power, i.e. to prevent other probeteams to infiltrate your datalinks

I usually just change what I'm building if it's not immediately necessary to something that'll shut them up - Creche, Recreation Centre. I tend to build it as quickly as possible, just pay it out of my funds. Once it's done the riots tend to stop.
