>The FBI doesn’t need a warrant to collect private IP addresses and other computer-related data during probes and dragnets, a federal court has ruled. The judge said the FBI’s actions were within constitutional bounds, rejecting privacy concerns.
>A court in Virginia declined to side with child pornography suspect Edward Matish, who accused the government of “unconstitutional” access to his private computer in February 2015.
>Matish was one of 137 people charged in the probe of Playpen, a website that contained “tens of thousands” of child pornography postings of both videos and pictures.
>Having officially obtained a warrant, in December 2014 the FBI installed a malware on Playpen's server to obtain identifying information from everyone logging into the website. Such tactic is officially known as “network investigative technique” or NIT.
>The feds did not immediately shut Playpen down, but seized control over it and continued operating it from a government facility in the Eastern District of Virginia.
>Between February and March 4, 2015, the malware automatically netted any users who input their logins and passwords. It then made their computers send certain information to the FBI, including IP addresses and operating system names.

Looks like they're writing a GUI in VB as we speak

the average sever will "collect" (log) ip addresses without a warrant, both for statistic and protecting themselves from abusers, why would the authorities need a special permit to do so in their investigations?

who the fuck wrote this article?

Clearly someone who doesn't know how the Internet works.

>the authorities still need a judicial order to acquire it
Except for the fact a judge literally said they don't need a warrant to do that. They can legally set up an honeypot without any warrant.
And the malware only infected the server to exploit a tor bug, it wasn't installed on any client

It's RT. They hire paid russian shills to do their work.

This. In this case, the government actually "owned" the website in question and thus were in control of it while people were accessing it. Look at it this way, would the FBI need a warrant to collect IP addresses from who visited fbi.gov?
Additionally, because they are not coercing people to use the website, those that were tracked and then eventually taken to court are pretty much fucked. A lot of the time this isn't just, "Oh well he looked at CP," it's more like, "This one IP keeps visiting every fucking day."

It could be argued that since the FBI ran the website, it also owned it and had the right to know who was trying to access its property.

arrest FBI for CP

What can they even do with an IP? They probably already know where you live, and DDOS is illegal.
Plus, it's so easy to obain IPs on the internet.
>>
>>55755
Yeah, because you usually get your CP for the ClearWeb.
Playpen is an Hidden service

If that were the case, then the FBI is guilty of hosting child porn. Better arrest them.

A "literate lawgician" and a "computer science person" here. It is because you can use the IP addresses that have for official use. Without the warrant, it isn't lawful to do so. It's like committing a crime if they do not issue a warrant.

Ooh thats a pretty cool color scheme he's looking at

This is a good and bad thing and if it helps get kid diddlers v&, hooray

>Uhhh we were entrapping other pedos with it!

Regular old Visual Studio, which is pretty nice I agree.

It's not as advanced as emacs.
>>
>>56999
How do you know the guy in question was actually abusing children and not just looking at pictures of said abuse?
>>
>>57151
If they're looking for it they're giving the diddlers business/encouragement so idgaf either way

>“My wife’s boyfriend (open relationship) heard it from the news first and so he and my wife’s son were both scared silly for a few days before everything was explained. I also got a call from my rabbi frantically trying to talk me out of doing anything more violent until finally I managed to explain to him that it was a hoax
