>>510800691 (OP)ISP's caching user activity is known but German govt. does more, whats known as "IP-Catching" so it gets all IP's connecting to whatever site/resource eg. 4chan.
This isn't legal but authorities allowed themselves to do it, they don't talk about it, media doesn't ask, and the only time its been mentioned it is in connection with catching pedos. They will not say how often agencies use it.
