They should monitor 8chan for manifestos and get alerts for PDF attachments. > It was originally posted on 4chan, later to 8chan. > In each instance, communit

  They do, see the 8chan affadivit in which multiple post screencaps from LEO have ‘(You)’ attached.

  You think they don't? It's well known 4chan allowed the fbi to scan their servers for child abuse material.

      I can't speak to the accuracy of this, but a quick Google search suggested [0] which linked to [1], which says: > What is notable is that next to the “Anonymous” user label on some of the posts is a “(You)” marking: > As it turns out, this text is to let the user know that they are looking at their own posts! This means that Special Agent Rod inadvertently exposed himself as 8chan user ID “8f4812” by including these screenshots as his supporting exhibit.

      notamy's referenced links are the best original sources, when followed through. they were documents submitted by the FBI to the court and admitted and thus are available to the public as documented evidence. yes the FBI outed itself accidentally.

  Fyi this is wrong, it was initially posted to 8chan. Idk where they got the idea it was originally posted to 4chan.
