Earlier this week, we had multiple requests from the Volusia County Sheriff's Department to hand over the information of 3 users IP addresses and other information due to perceived death threats toward one of their officers. The police showed us three posts that 'teens had made during the 18th of April (one edited TND copypasta, one very detailed thread, and one joke post) and asked for our help in helping them out with their investigations.

The NSS immediately began its own investigation into the posters and decided that there was only one post (the thread) that could potentially be deemed a credible threat. The user had posted the thread from a fresh IP with no prior post history, with the only intention of causing drama with the sheriff's department at our expense. Others in the thread immediately called out how much the thread "glowed" and screenshots of the thread have been popping up around the party by other teens stating that this poster was probably the one we decided to give to the Volusia Sherrif's Department. No information was given out regarding the other two posters mentioned.

KolymaNET policy on law enforcement and our handling of user data (https://www.kolyma.net/policy/law-enforcement) stipulates that we protect our users' data from unlawful search and seizure from local, state, and federal governments, which is still true before and after this incident. However, if you post CSAM, DDOS, or plan/fund/gather support for murdering another individual or terrorism, we are obligated by policy and morality to put an end to the issue. This includes cooperating with law enforcement when the need arises.

The poster made the thread to get the attention of the Sheriff's department, and he got it I suppose. I hope this will put to rest some of your fears regarding the incident.
