The initial reporting suggests that abandoning this reporting requirement is basically the problem here.
Specifically: the (good) reporting requirement holds that discovered content must be reported. The new setup effectively pays bounties for anything discovered, and there's a lot of concern that it will prompt fishing expeditions without cause. It also blurs the lines of private search since it's possible to put bounties on other content without a reporting requirement.
And, of course, the FBIs initial filings in the case appear to have systematically tried to hide that this was anything other than normal reporting.
