More information at the site, including a link to the actual "Application for Search Warrant".

The article closes with this statement:

However you may feel about 8chan and its denizens (and I hope those feelings are mostly negative), this is not a justifiable demand for information. The FBI wants everything on everyone in that thread, even as it states some of the users it's targeting were appalled by what they were seeing. This makes everyone in the thread a suspect and treats anonymous users of this site as inherently suspicious, no matter what their posts actually say.

I concur.

They did also serve a warrant on Facebook as part of this investigation, but I don’t believe it was anywhere near as broad.

Strikes me they are using a cannon to kill a fly and if it goes to the courts they may lose their cannon.

Nonsense. If the FBI can use falsified docucments to put the President of these Unites States under an electron microscope with total impunity, they can do the same for any or all of us.

BO: Here’s the info.

FBI: It seems that you only have 2 users. One named “anonymous” that posts from IP address “0.0.0.0” and another that goes by the name “CodeMonkey” who also posts from IP address “0.0.0.0”.

BO: Yep, that’s correct.

FBI: Is CodeMonkey this users REAL name?

BO: Yep.

“All users who responded” - so if you saw the original post then responded “you’re drunk go home” the FBI now has you on its interrogation list?

Where was this level of determination in finding out the truth of the Las Vegas massacre?

Wow.
If they want to get evidence this way, juries need to discount all their evidence, period.

We don’t have any real rights now. It would be better if we had George the 3rd as our monarch at this point.

Why don’t they just go to all the ISPs and get info on who’s using this internet thing?

Getting a bunch of names to run down for no reason is a great way to keep busy when you don’t feel like doing real police work.

Nothing will ever happen to the FBI. They have too much dirt on anybody with any power.

They are using a cannon because cannons are fun (for deep state actors).
