FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website

sunbird writes "The details are as yet unclear due to a gag order, but apparently the FBI is once again demanding IP logs from dissident webservers. The sysadmin for flag.blackened.net, best known for hosting infoshop.org and the Anarchist FAQ has responded to an FBI request for server logs. Although he cannot reveal the details of the request due to the gag order, the sysadmin has issued an informal press release discussing his reasons for turning over the information. Slashdot articles on similar topics: (1) (2) (3)"

And next they'll demand ...

Slashdots logs

for linking to a story about the FBI and Anarchists

Chicken Big or Chkicken Little?

[stevens]

Either it's the start of the fourth reich, tracking down all the remaining Jedi^Wfreethinkers and killing them, or it's a normal subpoena request for a normal investigation.

I'll go ask Occam and get back to you.

You know...

[Alias777]

The best way to make the FBI happy is to slashdot the site. Great job! Now I have time to hide my cyanide in the subway rails!

Radical Websites...

[Uptown Joe]

So all those sites dedicated to the mullet rocking, Oakley blade wearing (with the pink arms) lifted Toyota minitruck driving, Coors light drinking Americans from the 80's are in big trouble!

Rad.
Totally.

Dude.

Solution: Go out to the Forest

[WillAffleckUW]

chop down a tree you've lubricated with liquid waste products while standing next to it, and cut it into short two foot segments (or half-meter for the rest of the world).

Get a poker, bend it so it spells IP, then start a fire with the sawdust and stick the poker in.

Heat up the poker till it glows, using tree branches and some short tree segments and scrap. Then brand each tree segment with the symbol IP from the poker. Reheat as needed if the poker cools.

Deliver tree segments, aka "Logs", that you can truthfully say are "IP Logs", to Secret Service.

Mission Accomplished! You are now a terrorrorrorrist.

Forwards, certainly. But not backwards...

FBI's newest too against "radical websites"

[zerkon]

step 1: Post an article on slashdot
step 2: sit back and watch "radical website" grind to a halt
step 3: drink coffee and pat yourself on the back

Suspected extremist

[Dioscorea]

I had a really good response but it was too extreme and since I don't want trouble I'll keep it to myself.

Please turn over your logs to confirm that you did, in fact, keep it to yourself.

Occam's dead. Shaving accident.

Re:Solution: Go out to the Forest

[poot_rootbeer]

This will not work.

In order to deliver "IP Logs", you have to demonstrate that YOU PEE LOGS.

That kind of surgery isn't cheap.

Re:But of course!

[GWTPict]

Shouldn't that be 21 years after Orwell's prediction?

Thanks, Slashdot!

[b00stA]

Thanks to the /. effect the hard drive got burned along with the rest of the hardware.
No more logs for you :)

If I hear "fire!", I look around for smoke and flame.

Funny. When I hear "fire!", I pull the trigger.

What about keeping quiet?

[Sean Clifford]

Putting aside the stupidity of keeping logs in the first place if you run a site like that, here's option #3: keeping your mouth shut.

Why the hell do you want to do a "press release", especially if you think some nut is going to cap you? If you're going to cooperate then why the hell are you going to shout it out to the world?

Sheesh.

Ring ring. Ring ring.

Mafia Buttonman: Hello?
Rat : Hey. FYI, I'm ratting you guys out to the Feds.
Mafia Buttonman: Uh-huh. Is that right?
Rat : Yeah. Just though you guys ought to know. They're meeting me at Denny's in an hour.
Mafia Buttonman: Oh. Well, okey-dokey. Best of luck with that.
Rat : Thanks.
Mafia Buttonman: Oh hey, you forgot your jacket at the thing the other day.
Rat : Oh yeah, I wondered where that was. Listen, mind if I swing by to pick it up on the way to Denny's?
Mafia Buttonman: Sure, no problem.
Rat : See you in a few minutes.

Click.
