The last preservation of records request received by the U.S. government[0] was immediately followed by the seizure of cock.li's hard drives[1] by the hands of the U.S. government[2]. I complied with this original request in good faith since it wasn't a request for records and I legitimately desired to aid the investigation. I legitimately desire to aid this investigation as well; however, due to this unfortunate precedent, I will not be complying with this request for preservation. The U.S. DOJ is welcome to follow the normal channels of obtaining either a subpoena or a warrant for the requested user's metadata or data, respectively.
