Police in Amsterdam seized a server from a data center in the city’s eastern district on Tuesday, following a request from U.S. authorities. The police confirmed the seizure after it was reported by the NRC.The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.
Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.
They haven’t actually shared anything yet, afaik. When the request comes in the authorities have basically no wiggle room regarding safeguarding the data, but it is only shared once the request is approved as legal.
I don’t understand why people on the Internet will argue with someone answering questions about legal stuff as if the answerer is supporting that position or something
MLAT - Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty.
These treaties have been around since the 80’s, though I doubt they have been abused this way before.
Not valid unless it was a crime in the country the request is filed to. There’s no “they asked so we had to”
They haven’t actually shared anything yet, afaik. When the request comes in the authorities have basically no wiggle room regarding safeguarding the data, but it is only shared once the request is approved as legal.
The claim is terrorism and violent extremism, which would be a crime that meets criteria. And again:

Yeah so they need to present some basic evidence, not just an accusation
I’m not sure why you think I would know what evidence they were presented with just because I told you what they used.
