In a tweet Chris Soghoian noted that foreign governments have become involved in efforts to police internet activity by Americans, as occurred in the
Silk Road case.
It's not new to think that supposedly anonymous activities are suspect. But new specifics are now being confirmed in the
Tarbell declaration, a statement made at The Hague by
Christopher Tarbell of FTI Consulting, and formerly of the FBI. He was involved in the investigation of Silkroad, a website that purportedly allowed trading of contraband anonymously. Soghoian said that the DOJ has declared it didn't need warrants because Iceland had cloned Silk Road, and that hosting a website outside the United States makes it easier for you to be investigated without a warrant.
Soghoian also
suggested this site for those interested in legal parameters involved.
