An anarchist-oriented Mastodon server has seen one of its admins raided by the FBI. The admin in question was working with an unencrypted backup of the Mastodon server, which was also seized.

      If you DM’d nudes to a Kolektiva user, the FBI now has it

        That’s why you get a big warning message informing you that DM’s are not encrypted and thus not secure.

      Maybe the thinking is that whatever that server was raided for may have been federated to other servers, making them also targets for FBI raids.

      Edit: Looks like the admin was raided for participating in a protest and the Mastodon instance wasn’t the target at all, in which case why did they take that data at all?
