Why would he do that? He was already searched, they didn't seize the website, and they didn't order him to do anything. Worst-case is they eventually do, charge him, and use that as evidence he knew he was breaking the law. Best case is ... nothing? It's the government, not a friend he's in a tiff with. I don't see how the concept of "defuse" applies here.

- pixl97 4y agoIn the US many crimes have highly flexible sentencing, like between 1 and infinity years in jail. Showing that you attempted to minimize the the harm, even after getting caught for it is commonly taken into consideration when sentencing. Quite often it will be the defenses own lawyers telling the accused to remove particular pieces of information from public view.
