A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So the purpose of a federal investigation is to ensure the thing being investigated is shut down by the investigation?

If the offense is found to violate federal law, there should indeed be consequences. Hence the investigation part — to determine the extent.

That’s how enforcing law works.
