Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Are we going to see more bullshit "Twitter Files" about how the evil government dared to exercise a legal search warrant?
Actually, it's just "The X-Files" now.
"The X-crements"
The Truth Social is out there.
"The Truth is Out There"
Brilliant :D
Where in the FBI do you work?
Excuse me?
Yeah, THAT'S what CNN should've said in the headline. Investigations into Trump are so ordinary now they're barely news, but Twitter ignoring the law and the search warrant — that ought to be big news.
There are still serious news sites and government agencies using Twitter, something that's been feeling more and more problematic to me. It would be nice if today's news started a groundswell, or at least a conversation about that. Twitter has made itself into a forum for nutters, and now this? To anyone who's still on Twitter, I would ask — Why?
Yes, that's generally how electronic record searches go. I don't get why "secret" is bolded, since any of us would be getting the exact same treatment if there was a warrant for our own accounts. This at least is equitable in that it's equally unfair under the laws that these very same people had no problem with when they were in power.
So after Musk took over. I have no doubt Musk tried to obstruct as much as possible.
@MicroWave
bwahahahaha!!! That's hilarious!!!
Still not a fan of secret subpoenas/warrants/whatever, but fuck that's funny
This is different from a FISA warrant I think. It's not that it was "secret", in that it won't ever be public. Just that they didn't tell trump first, which as far as I know is pretty standard
I'm aware. I'm not a fan of them not being able to tell their users when this stuff happens.
Gotta wait til after they hand it over? Sure. But they should be legally required to inform the user after the fact.
Definitely agree with that
If you’re not a fan look into services that have a “canary in the coal mine” or “warranty canary”, the best example of this being at work I can remember would be lavabit or true crypt (RIP). Take what I say with more than a grain of salt… just an old privacy advocate that may dive to deep sometimes haha adjusts tinfoil hat
Unfortunately a lot of the FISA warrants completely gut organization's ability to actually fail to renew a warrant canary
TIL… is there any real alternative option that a end user can look for from a service? (or ask that they add if they’re not aware of the option)
Not really. The FISA warrants usually come with a provision that gives strict penalties for giving any sort of notice that they've been served
Damn… :(
That’s $44,000,350,000 in total after taxes. Would that be cash or credit card?
I wish we saw more stuff like this with corps being slapped around even a little bit where it hurts (their bank account) when they drag their feet or don't comply.
