So the FBI now has illegal possession of nearly all of Instapaper’s data and a moderate portion of its codebase, and as far as I know, this is completely out of my control.
Due to the police culture in the United States, especially at the federal level, I don’t expect to ever get an explanation for this, have the server or its data returned, or be reimbursed for the damage they have illegally caused.
The FBI went into the server farm for a single customer’s servers, but took numerous servers that were physically close to the ones in question.
I’m just glad to know the feds have a great understanding of show data centers work. Oh, wait…
