I'm not American, and I am genuinely curious, why does the FBI investigate this?
I can imagine the US government wanting an investigation in cases like this, and I can understand Beirut wanting (or maybe just allowing) different countries to investigate, but isn't foreign investigations a job of the CIA (or, at least, not the FBI)?
Why wouldn’t the US want to be involved? FEST responds to vast majority of these incidents, simply because we want to know if someone was behind it.

Then don’t put your band there. Oh wait: you’d be complaining about Bandcamp and no recognition then.
Not everything needs to be “justice”. Quit diluting words and actions.
How are they breaking the rules? It seems like they are using it for the same purpose they prompt permissions for.
They create ghost profiles for those contacts, just in case that user ever signs up. That’s fucking garbage and they should be ashamed of doing that, let alone immediately removed from the App Store.

Baofeng's, Baofengs everywhere.
Of all the images I have seen of the attempted coup, I have only seen baofeng radios. These are very cheap ($20'ish) radios that work very poorly (they splatter all over the bands) even when equipped with decent antennas. They barely work when equipped with the stock rubber-duck antennas.
It's easy to be a snob about the type of radios that they are using, but that's not even the point.
These people are idiots. Bringing their cellphones, recording video of themselves committing felonies and then posting them online. There is already plenty of rules regarding what can/can not be said using amateur radios. There is however no requirement to provide identification before you purchase an amateur radio.
Anybody can buy them, and it's based on the honour system to use them according to the law. It's already against the law to use them in a manner that is against the law.
Id' like to see this used as a punitive measure against everybody who was using them during the coup. Maximum FCC fine for all of them.
You sound like a real joy.
Quick: let’s implement ID for everything, because that clearly stops criminals.

Started doing this a few years back - not only does it help with public speaking, but it also is a form of debugging whatever you’re talking through.
Nothing wrong with having a little external monologue.

Having been on both sides of the table, I would slightly disagree here. Fraud prevention for example will get an order of magnitude harder, plus this move will further skew the playing field towards FAANG who have the resources to puzzle the scraps back together for decent conversion tracking with the help of logins, IPs, SDKs with First Party IDs and a massive dose of machine learning.
“Fraud”...uh-huh. Please be clear that you mean AD fraud and not fraud-fraud.
Also: boohoo
