I don't think the government is concerned with watching white terrorist cells.
I think sowing mistrust any chaos in any migration might also be a good tactic. It's going to force people to simply drop out of the community.
Someone might have mentioned this already, but are IP addresses really that reliable? Don't they change from time to time? Also it could just indicate a connection and I imagine a lot are accessing from shared or unknowingly off other people's connections.
Depending on the jurisdiction, ISPs can be compelled to help identify the owner of an IP address. As you say it isn't a bulletproof method of identifying somebody but it's a hell of a lot of exposure to give yourself on a message board which has been ground zero for several mass shootings.
They're reliable if the user isn't behind a VPN and the ISPs are logging DHCP IP assignments which I presume all of them most certainly do.
I hate how a VPN is basically a free pass to be a completely anonymous asshole online as long as you don't do something that would be so horrible they would pursue a means to try and locate you. It's so fucked up. There are a lot of messed up people out there and I imagine like seen here clever ones just use a VPN.
Either way really glad they are able to keep tabs on the ones without VPN. Some really horrible people out there.
I knew they'd not be organised to move to anything which didn't have a super similar name. Wherever they go politicians will know about it.
The good things that VPNs bring far outweigh the bad things, so I'm happy they exist. Same as encryption.
So we can identify either the culprit, a friend or family member, or someone nearby who doesn't know how to secure their WiFi, or a local business owner. I'm sold - time for vigilante action against them!
Eh... Don't give up your freedom and privacy so easily.
What should be done to these idiots is preventing them from assembling for hate.

The Daily Beast captured 819 IP addresses for 08chan users connecting from 62 different countries.

It's sort of implied in calls to release the list of IP addresses publicly online.
I don't. It's pretty well understood that post-Silk Road and other various early Darkweb things that even using stuff like Tor (just by itself) is a one way ticket to getting on a watchlist. Plus, with the scrutiny of 8chan recently, the people working at government agencies are not so naive as to not follow up and try and identify where these people scurry off to.

The article says about 60% of them weren't using the Tor tunnel lol
