Basically for the people who don't know shady shit has been going down as late

boardreader.com a fed owned site was responsible for multiple CP accounts popping up fast on FSE
this same site was also scraping info off of fse (maybe other instances)
The admin of FSE stops the scraps from fedinc
"In an apparent effort to figure out why they can't scrape FSE any more, some traffic from Serbia (where their developers are"

After writing to fedinc the "dev" responded
They went back and forth and the admin basically asked him to stop scraping shit and being a bad bot
The dev (fbi) doesn't know how the Fediverse works and the admin to explain to the boomer
He tells them to stop scraping
They agree
Then the FEDs ghost the admin afterwards
They are still attempting to scrape despite getting 401s

The morning after the admin told them to stop he gets and email from a possible fbi agent
"This is Special Agent Peter Christenson, with the FBI. I am requesting subscriber information for the user "WitchKingOfAngmar." This user posted the attached threat. Please let me know if you can assist with this request."

"Of note, the screenshot is named "FSE Screen Shot.png". (First time I've seen anyone outside fedi call the site "FSE", which is why I thought it was a joke initially.)"

The message they wanted was 26 days old and they sat on it
It was about fedpost about larry fink (blackrock nigger)
"the post in question ( freespeechextremist.com/notice/ASjDkOhVrCDsAgsYiW ) was from 26 days before that, meaning they sat on the message a long time. Some text is highlighted, "kill blackrock" "larry fink", as if those were the search terms."

The admin replies to the swine and explains things

"I figure the best approach, since I have nothing he wants, is to just explain that I have nothing he wants. He asks where it came from, I stress again that this is public information and tell him to look after the "@" "

FSE goes into lockdown mode
"Continued discussing the issue in private. I gave the fed several chances to tell me not to do this and even when I explicitly asked, he ignored the question twice."

"Given how long they sat on it, "Emergency Disclosure Request" seems like a bit of a stretch. Given the nature of the post they were asking about, I don't know how anyone could think it's a real threat: either it was a due dilligence thing or the feds have no clue how the internet works."

This was a possible probe to get the admin to cooperate with the feds

" :finksmug: The glowies are (or want to convey that they are) specifically looking at threats against Blackrock executives. :hunterbidensmile: "

The FBI and DOJ use Outlook lmao
