From the owner of eam.watch: firstly, I would like to apologize about the confusion, and stress that this may have caused, but it was in order to assess an internal security concern in regards to one of our “partners” who was providing assistance in the automated recording and transcriptions setup process. I know many people will believe that this was a publicity stunt, but if it were I would not be providing this background now, or further background and screenshots at a later date. I would like to reassure everyone that I have been in control of the domain and website this entire time.
I find it quite amazing how quickly people who claim to provide factual information relay unverified information and proceeded to distance themselves from this community while also removing messages that showed support for this community and what we do.
I would also like to thank those who actually did some research and were questioning the validity of what was going on with so many fairly clear signs pointing to the fact this was not an actual seizure.
My goal is to ensure those who say they support this community truly do, when I get the feeling the community is being used for others purposes, and people are unable to back up their own claims and maintain a single stance through unknown times I have to do the best thing I can to get to the truth.
Again, I apologize for any stress and confusion, I’ll be providing additional details once I finish a write up, and will be in voice later to address any further issues or concerns
I was not going to provide this information until I was fully available to address any concerns, but once I am actually available I’ll be here to address all concerns. The security of the community, and the community not being mislead by outside groups was the primary reason this was done in the shadows. Again I truly apologize for the confusion, but needed to ensure I got to the bottom of the situation and received the truth.
TL
R, it was fake, eam.watch was never seized by DHS, their activities do not violate any law or regulation, and the site is back up.
