    FBI claiming it’s for non-Mastodon related reasons, but that could be a cover. https://kolektiva.social is still up

    Regardless, I don’t think they even have to ask to get this sort of data from any of the big platforms.

      I don’t think it was a cover. They could have just sent a subpoena for the data if it was hosted in the US.
