Perhaps the modern/mainstream popularization.

Huh? Where do you think it originates then?

It's from Terry.

But the shortened, less overtly racist term 'Glowie' comes from 4chan and similar environs

"Glowing" was used as a description of government agents before Terry's "popularity"; the most common modern version is tongue-in-cheek "jokes" using the term while "outing" someone, usually someone who is asking odd, or personal questions, especially in a security or privacy community.

Do you have any reference to support your claim that "glowing" was used in this context before Terry's livestream?

You're hoping I'll permalink you to...decades old IRC and other chat and forum conversations?
