FBI demands USA Today hand over names of EVERYONE who read story about two FBI agents killed during Florida child porn raid but newspaper REFUSES First Amendment 'violation'​


 
Very Weird,
Why would they want to know who read the article?

What would this do for them?

Any theory's?

What could they possibly want from someone who read a news story online?

"...the FBI is for the phone numbers and IP addresses of everyone who clicked on the story during a 35-window that night, between 8.03pm and 8.38pm."

I won't claim to know exactly what they are seeking, but obviously it has something to do with reading the story in that particular timeframe. Gonna throw out a SWAG that someone posted a link on a kiddy porn forum or chatroom. Also gonna throw out a SWAG that this is being done rather broadly with the consent of a variety of website operators, and that it's been done on this very forum.
 
It’s entirely possible there’s a bigger child porn ring and they could have evidence that the story was posted somewhere that pedo’s frequent and a bunch of them may have clicked on it and may be able to track them. They’re only asking for a 35 minute window, not literally everyone who read it period.

It’s still basically entrapment IMO and certainly not a legitimate investigation if literally everyone that clicked on it in that time frame could be suspected of something.
 
Creeping!!
Some judge granted this. With certain restrictions that are not in the story. Next time they will push a little further. Then further than that. All of a sudden " precedent" is set and the full on surveillance system is a done deal.
And fuck you Rights!
McCarthy was right!

Its not entrapment but I find it interesting that USA Today is trying to protect pedos.

Read what myself and a couple others posted about why they probably want it. If a judge ordered certain restrictions to help protect innocents that clicked on it in that period then even better. Why the fuck shouldn’t they try to catch pedo’s? Give me one good damn reason.

I say catch and prosecute them all, line them up, and shoot them in the fucking head one by one.

"Ordinarily, law enforcement agencies will first make contact with media companies to ask for information.

It is a cooperative process that does not involve subpoenas."

The British obviously know nothing about what it's like for LE agencies to deal with media outlets. HAHA

Do you trust the FBI? I sure as hell don’t. I’m not upset that there are two less.

Simpletons like you are exactly why we have lost almost all our civil liberties, privacy and rights.

Oh sure let the government know who read actual news story from a major legit news site. Oh they claim it's to "help fight those bad people" and they pinky swear that they won't go after their political enemies.... like they have been doing brazenly for 5 years in your face style.

I'll bet it has WAY more to do with something was in the article that was not edited out for half an hour or so and they want to kick in the doors and threaten anyone who read the truth to shut up or we'll make a bunch of false allegations against you that stupid "good" people will eat up like candy...

And you wonder why the forces of evil and tyranny are taking over the world??
Folks like you practically beg them to.

Tough Call here.

-USA Today certainly should protect its readers and 1A rights

But

-If it would help burn a porn/sex trafficking ring they should be given the names. Happily.

Perhaps the Bureau should meet with the owner and explain why.

So you honestly believe that this is because some people read something that was in the story hours after it was originally posted and that they’re going to go kick in doors because people read something that may or not be true?

😂😂😂

Put the Reynolds wrap down bro. That’s literally insane.

I can all but guarantee you that this was posted on a kiddy porn site and that’s the time frame that the link was hot. If I was a betting man I’d put my money on 4chan.

Many people check for news update stories regularly and often read and share them right after they are posted.
The story about that botched raid was posted here on SH as it is of significant political interest.

But obviously you and your kind are fine with shredding the last vestiges of the constitution, the bill of rights and the law in order anytime the government says jump. The government DID NOT give any actual reason other than they wanted it and look what we have, everybody bending over to help make excuses for the government.

Just remember once all you have cut down the last protective hedge and the wolf turns and comes for you, you will deserve your place in gulag they drag you off to.

Me and my kind? Fuck right off dude, you don’t know me one fucking bit. You sound paranoid as fuck.

If they have to sift through a list of people to catch a bunch of pedo’s then so fucking be it. If some of those pedo’s are conservatives well prosecute them too, shouldn’t be looking at naked kids

As long as they aren’t harassing people that have nothing to do with the kiddy porn, then there’s no harm.

So why are you ok with protecting pedo’s? That’s what I’m curious about.

Yes I’ve a theory- many won’t like it. Those that most have worshiped as hero’s fucking hate you and want you dead and they are willing to kill you/ ruin your life /kill your dog / burn your kids cause you read an unflattering news story from a third rate rag.
the agents were problems going there to get their cut of the pedo money and probably went to the wrong house and just like Vagas have to kill everyone who saw something-knows something other than the official state religion narrative

What if.
This guy they raided.
Who has no record whatsoever.
No history of violence.
No history of sexual offenses.

What if, he wasn't a pedo at all?

You know what they are gonna find on your phone when you get sideways of current politics?
Kiddy porn. On your phone.

Why aren't they busting down Hunters door?
Why aren't they interested in his laptop?

So tell me this, has the FBI said they wanted this information to hunt some "pedos" or is that something you and the rest of the apologists are helpfully making up as you lick the boots of the FBI?

From all the reading I have said, nowhere is it officially said why they want the information other than "for an investigation".

I care deeply about the constitution and civil rights and the rule of law.
I've seen almost every one of our civil rights shredded to the cheers of people like you who think "as long as they say it's for some good, who cares".

Again this is NOT some hidden secret website, this is a public, prominent, major news outlet where MANY people will be checking it throughout the day and reading news stories right away and sharing them.

After all that has happened over the past 5 years, if you actually are trying to claim that "sure, let the FBI troll around and see what they can dig up on anybody who read a politically embarrassing story that might not have been properly censored before publication... there is no way they would do anything wrong", you are either willfully blind and stupid, or you are happy to have the government move to full Chinese Communist Party style rule.

Then again sometimes I wonder why I still play Cassandra and try to warn fools like you of the horrors that you are begging for.

You think for one moment the FBI wouldn't lie, cheat, make false allegation, submit false documents to courts and try to destroy folks lives even when they are totally innocent? If you do, then enjoy the chains, may they rest lightly on you.
 
Ok so let me get this straight...

Some of you guys believe that USA Today, who is super left leaning, is protecting conservative political figures by fighting the FBI on this.

That doesn’t even make sense.

Sam’s club is running a promotion right now, you get an additional $4 off a two pack of Reynolds wrap. Stock up!

So you believe Trump is a Russian spy.
So you believe that the Branch Davidians were a pedophile cult
So you believe that storyline about Ruby Ridge?
I pity people like you
 
Many who like to be informed realize that in this competitive age of "news" for clicks, most places post things as fast as they can get them out, so they can be the first to get the clicks, then go back and edit censor them later. You'll often see news stories vanish or change an hour or less after being posted.

This would not be the first time somebody with money, power and political pull wanted to go after anyone that knew the truth of a story and it won't be the last time.
 
Are we supposed to believe the FBI suddenly cares about getting rid of pedos, or is it more likely they came up with that story to sink some political opponent of the left and set precedent for violating 1A rights in the future.
If saying you are looking to stop pedos lets you violate rights, that will always be the excuse used. After all, who would stand against it.

So I’m an apologist and a boot licker because I can see a very plausible and likely reason as to why they would want this info?

Dude you’re paranoid and delusion to the point that I actually feel sorry for you. What you’re suggesting is so far fetched it’s unreal and there’s a lot of channels they would explore to tear apart political opposition before whoever clicked on this. I mean what could the super liberal news outlet have possibly put in this story and someone could have read that would make them go kick doors? That doesn’t even make sense.

I know that the FBI has done, and is doing a lot of fucked up shit, I’m not blind. I also know that they do some legitimate investigations and not everything is politically motivated like you chose to believe.

Did the IP Address pop up from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave ?
 
So why are you ok with protecting pedo’s? That’s what I’m curious about.

You are missing the point. If the FBI had actual probable cause that the information requested is evidence of an actual crime, they would have sworn out an affidavit, gone to a judge and gotten a warrant. You can't argue with a warrant. Period.

But they didn't do that. They sent a subpoena, almost certainly drawn up by an FBI attorney. No judge involved. No probable cause involved. It's just "give us this because we want it." I know. I've prepared them. Fill in the blanks of the template. Affix postage. Mail. Easy.

Not having a warrant is presumptive evidence of not having probable cause. And if they wanted to crack down on pedophiles, something probably everyone on this site would love to see, they can start with the flight manifests of Jeffrey Epstein's jet. I'm not holding my breath.
 
Ok...lemme try another avenue.

So. Ill speak slowly.
So they want a specific window of users.
From a known pedo website.
They know the website.
Where pedos hang out.
And they need to know who read the story.
From the known pedo site.
The pedo site that they know pedos use.

Did you know gullible is not in the dictionary?

They are corrupt. They have no legitimacy. There is no reason to support anything these statists do. Stop defending these guys and bow out of this one. These guys are taking part in the destruction of our country. You should hate the fuck out of them.

No, I don’t believe so. Not one bit. Why would the leftist outlet USA Today protect a conservative from a political attack by not wanting to release the information that the FBI is requesting? Ask yourself that.

Meanwhile understand how the underground world works...

6am FBI raids the house, 9:30am USA Today runs the story. That’s 10hr 33m before this window starts. Plenty of time for some pedo to put two and two together, figure out that Ken the kiddo fucker got got and puts word out on whatever anonymous pedo server and this story gets linked. Hard to track people on anonymous servers, but easier to track on a site like USA Today plus more likely to let their guard down and not use a proxy or anything. Boom, you’ve got a list of possible pedo’s to comb through.

So yes, I 100% believe that’s what the FBI is after. No they’re not going to come out an say exactly why and tip off the pedo’s to cover their tracks. That would be stupid to ever give away details of an investigation like that.
 
, I don’t believe so. Not one bit. Why would the leftist outlet USA Today protect a conservative from a political attack by not wanting to release the information that the FBI is requesting? Ask yourself that.
The enemy, of my enemy, is my friend.
Apply it any number of ways and it'll still apply.

Even if they’re pedos?

By that logic though, if USA Today is a leftist media outlet (they are), and the FBI is left, then they would have the same enemy. If whatever the FBI is looking for is to go after a conservative figure as pretty much all of you are suggesting, why would they not just turn it over? They would in a heartbeat.

They’d just ask who they’re looking for specifically and give that data in exchange for something that benefits them and we would never hear about it. Instead we are hearing about this, they’re protecting their viewers, yet people are claiming it must be conservative because “errrrrrmagherd FBI”.

You all sound like morons because the theory you’re pushing doesn’t begin to make any sense. If you want to twist something into something to support your ideology then you’ll certainly find a way.
