We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...

    Cops took what wasn’t needed and haven’t returned it (that we know of).

    I’d say that’s about as nefarious as it gets.

          And that’s often because what is needed isn’t in plain site, so it makes sense to just grab everything and take it back to their lab and have experienced techs go over it rather than having the site team sit on the computers going through files to find what they need.

        How do you know that it was? Were you involved in this case enough to know something the rest of us dont? Or are you just a bystander playing devil’s advocate?

        EDIT: since I apparently cant reply to your comment below, you cant just claim that the hardware was involved in a crime by “just asking questions” then accuse me of “stirring up shit” after calling you out on making unsubstantiated claims. If you make a claim it is YOUR job to defend that claim. Not everyone elses’ job to disprove your assertion.

          Were you involved enough to know that it wasn’t? There’s devil’s advocate, and then there’s devil’s PR. Why are you trying so hard to stir up shit where none exists? It’s not wrong to want more information before going on a paranoia bender.

          1. I’m not the person you can’t reply to below.

          2. I was literally just asking. If the warrant was in relation to a charge that they were hosting CSAM, then yes the seizure of the server would be appropriate.
