Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I’d have to read the source, but what was the original action that prompted the FBI to ask for all these records? Just looking at this GETTR garbo site, it looks like profiles more/less could be public (as in i can look at accounts without an account), but they also say there they looked at his google map account.
This does feel a little 1st amendment breaking to me though. Maybe they considered the 4k comments so spammy it constituted an attempt to manipulate the forum? I can see the argument in the content, but what argument do they even have to consider it noteworthy. I suppose this is why most websites just ban toxic content like me, so they don’t have the feds on their door. Jesus.
Quick 11-page read here if you wanna try to answer your own question so you can check if I’m off base:

1A is sacrosanct but the moron went too far.
Jokes (one & two) are dandy though :) Two is funnier while one is more extreme.
I wasn’t trying to JAQ off or anything, I’m just terminally toxic.
IDK who downvoted ya, and wish I’d rephrased:
Cuz I meant that with, say, a collaborative exploration kinda vibe but it reads more like a dig or something.

Edit: peep that second video! ITYSL is a masterpiece
