I think it is very unlikely that any surveillance capacity has been added since I resigned given that the remaining volunteers (who were not appointed by rasengan and many of whom predate rasengan's ownership of the network) are decent people who would not tolerate that. InspIRCd also makes it very hard to surveil users without them knowing (and I've made it harder since becoming the lead maintainer) as it sends notices to all users on connect if rawio debug mode is enabled and all loaded modules are listed in `/MODULES` which is explicitly exempt from being disabled in the config. Being open source it's technically possible to disable these checks by editing the source but from what I have seen rasengan is not a very good programmer[1] so he would probably not be able to do that without being caught.

> [00:59:01] <prawnsalad> also re. user data, youre forgetting that all data under snoonet is ltm data. rdv had sold all of that way beforehand. neither i, or most of you had any say in that
If he's willing to go back on those terms and agreements, why not on this one as well?

The log, however, does correctly present how LTMH treats the concept of user data (i.e. as an asset to be sold and owned) and I found that an extremely important view to give to freenode users who's data was about to change hands.
I also recognise you were not involved in the freenode hostile takeover and I'm actually fairly grateful you sought to make communication between Tom and Andrew
