If you had read the article, you would realize that the users of the app aren't under suspicion.
The feds want to know where the app was downloaded, because they're trying to figure out all the countries that the scope manufacturer illegally exported their scopes.
The app only works with a specific scope.
Let's let the feds do their job and investigate this company for the crime they committed.

- marshray 7y agoNot sure what your point is. They're looking for exporters. If/when they find any, it seems likely they'll look closely at how the exporters obtained the products. This may or may not lead to the manufacturer.
- sixstringtheory 7y agoParent is building off of a clearly mistaken assumption in their post. And there was no need for them to be rude about it, either. My point was just to clear up a fact that seemed significant to me in the thread. The fact actually stuck out to me when I originally read the article. IANAL so I can’t comment on the different implications of pursuit of a stated suspect vs a dragnet with no known suspect.
