He'd probably shut it down and let everyone do what they want. Because he's anti dictator. He managed to convice a third of the population of heaven that something was wrong with their Dear Leader, and the rest of the bible pretty much proves him right.
I'm not sure he's 'anti-dictator'. You have the Five I Wills of Satan in the bible that suggest that this character wants to be worshiped by all. Again assuming that the Christian Bible is true -- Jesus describes Satan as a killer who cannot tolerate the truth. Considering that Yahweh is not considered a killer and kills as many people as he does and created a pit of fire, I can't imagine if the Christian Bible is true (which we are doing for the sake of this hypothetical) that Satan is such a good guy either.
Especially going by Job.
God: Look at Job. Isn't he fucking awesome? Won't do anything wrong.
Satan: Well no shit. You're protecting him. Bet if you were an asshole to him, he'd curse you!
God: Fine, do to him what you want. I'm all out of fucks to give. Just one rule though. Don't hurt Job.
Satan: Cool. I'm gonna kill all his kids, and servants and animals.
God: Sure. Go ahead. I like a good test as much as the next deity.
