Is this actually a mere request, as in the receiver is _not_ required to avoid disclosure?
Separately—can't believe tucows is still around!
- righthand 1y agoWell Tucows is Canadian so the FBI can take their “request” somewhere else.
- mothballed 1y agoIsn't the whole thing a request? The FBI has no power in Canada unless they go through Canadian legal channels, no? If I received a subpoena from a foreign sovereign I would just use it as toilet paper.
- squarefoot 1y agoPretty sure if Tucows had been in the US, the "request" would have been a gag order or something alike.

- c22 1y agoThey probably cannot require this. They may be able to get you on interfering with their investigation if you disclosed with the intent of interfering. Probably adding this notice helps them prove you were aware of the potential to cause interference, at least. IANAL.
