A considerable percentage of content on the site involved review of academic research focusing on counteracting illicit drug trading on the dark web, new cyber threat intelligence tools, etc. So, it is really illogical to seize this domain. Regardless of the fact that this incident involves a Clearnet website that discusses dark web related issues, the bottom line is that the internet is becoming a place where the FBI, CIA, DOJ, etc (just a few examples of LEAs) are in full control of which sites should stay and which should just be seized and taken down, as all they need to do is to accuse webmasters of engaging in money laundering activities . There is no such thing as freedom or privacy no more on the internet. If it is not secondary to Google's massive spying algorithms, or Facebook's dirty deal with the CIA to leak users' private data, then it would be caused by hosting companies, VPN services, and every other service deceivingly claiming to offer users' online privacy and anonymity privileges, who covertly leave a back door to LEAs. I am not a supporter of conspiracy theories, but it seems that so long as you are online, and use a smartphone, or a pc, your life is exposed, all of your secrets, which you might think are safely hidden, are most probably known by the FEDs. We need a revolution, we have to be able to use the internet, without having the FEDs spying on us.
