sorry to be this person, but can anyone TLDR this for me?





Actually, I think if you set your referrer to boardreader.com and reload the page, the host might serve you a summary

fbi contacts a guy who runs a free speech website asks who a particular shitposter is. free-speech guy hates the fbi but complies anyway (as best as he can), later finds out shitposter (who finally got arrested) was an actual commit-violence-against-you terrorist.


You don't want to traverse that domain, or?

he could always archive.is first

tldr from 2nd para of article:

> To summarize, the FBI pays some shady companies to scrape data, the data is scanned for keywords (yep, just like CARNIVORE). Links and content are then fed into Facebook, organized by topic based on the keywords. Some rudimentary analysis is performed (sentiment analysis at least, but as friendly as Microsoft is with the feds, and as LLMs have gotten popular, the influence of machines has probably expanded) and perused by agents, using some FBI internal interface.


That's not the real kicker, though. You at least have to also skip to the end and read the last couple paragraphs.

The article technically does have a TLDR in the second paragraph, though not directly labelled.

Third paragraph.

No, the second paragraph contains the TL;DR (summary) being referenced.

The word TLDR appears in the third paragraph, but the summary it refers to is in the second paragraph, starting with the words "To summarize, ..."
