I’m not getting into any details at all about this but shits fucking bad. I wouldn’t doubt some more users might get harassed.

Thanks for deciding to federate and putting us in the fucking spotlight!

    If you live in the United States, remember to be very careful about what you say online! There's over two centuries of precedent -- free speech does NOT extend to anything the government decides is "treasonous" or "seditious". A lot of those McCarthy era policies are still on the books; "un-American activity" is sought out and logged.

    That being said, even federal agents need a warrant -- remind them of your right to a lawer and do your best to keep it civil. Don't give them the excuse they're looking for!

      I’m not going to advise people one way or the other, but choosing not to censor yourself despite the risk is a valid choice, and one I choose for the present. For now the risk is almost nil, though in a year they might start coming for people based on what they said online years ago.
