    Sorry about the twitter link but I don’t see this anywhere else yet. Also, some interesting analysis in those tweets.

      That seems to be the language in the warrant.

        Not particularly, unless I'm misreading something; it specifies for "Ch.net"; a site that seemingly has no connection to anyone connected to 8chan whatsoever, judging by ICANN records & archive.org.

          Thanks for looking that up. I wonder what that disconnect is all about. They don’t use the same name servers or anything. Geez, hope they didn’t screw that up and get all this thrown out.

            can we please stop idly speculating about things we don't know about and whether or not they fucked up based on small slivers of evidence from what are basically tertiary sources sources and leave it to the people who are actually investigating it?

              For the record, my comment wasn't about any govt. agency "fucking up," it was about someone saying an account with a third-party service was an 8chan account.

      Second impression: they're also terribly unaware of the culture of chanboards, and seem to be missing the motivation of the shooter in the first place (which is somewhat unsurprising): Ah, I see,...

        Yeah, that is dumb. This is very interesting though: https://twitter.com/swodinsky/status/1139622901332754434

          Really wish the poster would stop adding commentary, but yes, that is interesting; the implications of it, at least.

          You misread; I'm saying the Adweek writer doesn't understand it. As is trivial to tell by the content of their tweets. Don't know the gender, so I used "they." That's why I quoted them.
