    How… what… why? Why is the whole article not telling us why the FBI is doing this? That is a key question to understand if that is a serious threat or government suppression. Also, why on earth would you post these pictures on your own account.

      Wait you want to hear the FBI’s version of why people who film factory farms should be charged with attempted use of WMDs?

      Probably the FBI is not willing to explain why they want to pretend that exposing illegal animal cruelty is the same thing as planning a mustard gas attack.

        Nobody is charged with anything. They are documenting things. I would like to know why to make my judgement on whether that is reasonable or bullshit.

          The FBI straight up said they were looking to bring those charges. Not having done so yet is not a defense.

      They’re doing it because someone called their representative and asked them to bring it up with the DOJ.
