The points made in the article are that server admins should have policies regarding privacy and data retention, that users should be aware of this possibility, and that developers should ensure more of the users’ data is encrypted at all times.
They should also be held accountable and not turn a blind eye to illegal behaviour on their server. If someone uses their server to organise a terrorist attack, they've facilitated it.
Ah the age old bullshit.
"Hey, I kinda care about my rights--"
"FUCK YOU, YOU'RE AIDING TERRORISTS AND PEDOPHILES"
I mean, that's not even remotely related to the scenario in the article. It wasn't even related to the server. The admin was raided for an entirely different reason.
Yes, if you commit crimes you should be held responsible. No one said otherwise at any point. So, I guess thanks captain obvious?
