隐私问题升级为联邦调查局抓住从乳齿象网络服务器副本没有传票是常见的联邦调查局官员抓住一个服务器包含用户数据从一个科技公司没有正式通知?一般来说,联邦调查局官员不能简单地抓住一个服务器从一个包含用户数据科技公司没有适当的法律程序后,通常需要获得传票。然而,在乳齿象的情况下,分散的社交网络,据报道,美国联邦调查局(FBI)占领了整个服务器副本包含数据从成千上万的用户。按照电子前沿基金会(EFF),联邦调查局占领的乳齿象服务器备份与一组称为Kolektiva,形容为一个“无政府主义/反殖民主义”的集体。电子前沿基金会(EFF)分散的网络向用户发出警告,称,最近的行动,美国联邦调查局(FBI)展示一个严重威胁个人使用乳齿象等平台的隐私。EFF表示担心用户数据可能被联邦调查机构进行监测。的事件发生在5月,当时也没有得到多少媒体的关注。根据集团Kolektiva,联邦调查局的家里进行了一次突袭的管理员与当地抗议,大约六个星期。袭击期间,联邦调查局抓住属于Kolektiva服务器副本的乳齿象实例,一个分散的社交网络拥有超过8000活跃用户。用户帐户数据库包含敏感信息,包括电子邮件地址,可能与IP地址,和用户的密码散列。 Additionally, the FBI obtained an unencrypted copy of the Kolektiva social database, as the raid coincided with an admin’s attempt to troubleshoot an issue. This situation raises significant concerns about the privacy and security of user data on decentralized networks like Mastodon when facing law enforcement investigations. The EFF is currently advocating for both users and Mastodon server operators to be proactive in safeguarding against potential FBI seizures. The group is emphasizing the importance of being prepared and taking necessary precautions. They are urging hosts within the expanding decentralized web to recognize their responsibility in protecting the privacy and rights of their users. The recent incident serves as a wake-up call, highlighting the need for increased vigilance and support for users on decentralized networks. As of now, the FBI has not made any comments or issued any official statements regarding the incident. In response to the incident, Eugen Rochko, the founder of Mastodon, pointed out that the FBI conducted a raid on one of the admins of kolektiva.social for unrelated charges. During the raid, the admin had a backup of the kolektiva.social database on one of their personal digital devices at home, which is not considered a recommended practice. Eugen Rochko clarified that while the particular Mastodon server associated with kolektiva.social is still operational, the FBI does have the ability to take down a Mastodon server within their jurisdiction, just as they can with any other website. He emphasized that Mastodon’s decentralized nature means that taking down one server does not impact the functionality of the entire network, highlighting that there is nothing inherently unique about Mastodon in this regard.
