For corporations, when they post messages of support that are really thinly veiled advertisements, call them out on it, and explain to the general public that they're part of the problem. We neither need nor desire their support.

For states, they will try to put moles in your organization. They can be rendered ineffective by not disclosing sensitive information to everyone in the organization (like, for example, keeping the exact route of an upcoming march secret). If you suspect someone of being a mole, you could set up a canary trap for them. If you can verify that it was them who leaked the information, don't confront them about it - that would let them know they've been discovered. Instead, you could cut off contact with them, and try to shut them out of as many events as possible, or you could deliberately feed them false information, to frustrate police plans to shut your movement down.

The fact is those who put out those ads have much more time and resources than you ever will to promote your agenda. Just calling them out on it won't work especially since these corporations and interest groups know how to psychologically target the vast majority of the population with their propaganda. This leads us to the problem with democracy and that those smart enough to cut through the bullshit and see the truth are a minority. This is why we get god awful politicians who are only in it for themselves elected by the unthinking masses. The fact remains that when you get majority to vote you only get those who know how to manipulate the majority.
