Yeah, what the fuck are you supposed to do? Ask the FBI to please come back later?
It's a good reminder for folks with concerns to not say anything on a platform that isn't end-to-end encrypted that you don't want folks finding out about, to not use an email you don't want associated with yourself, and to use some sort.of VPN or Tor if you need to hide your IP address.
And if course use unique passwords but I would really hope people do that already.
