Presumably, threatening to kill people is a crime in Germany, so the German police had the authority to open an independent investigation.

The "anonymous mail service with offensive names" could be made a standard indicator of a country's freedom of speech status.
Actually, that'd be a good research project: setup and host such a service in as many countries as possible, wait as they get shutdown (+6 points)/subpoenaed (+3)/ddosed (+1) and make a map.

Seeing as he's yet to be accused of anything except being a community-minded sysadmin with a low sense of humor, I'm not sure a mere lack of taste excuses the extremely unsympathetic media attention that's been focused on the operator of this service in the last few days.

I use the provided mail service (@tfwno.gf) explicitly due to how transparent he is. Same reason why I used and donated to pomf.se before its closure (different person).
If the only people who care about users and practice active disclosure of subpoenas are people with low-brow humor, so be it, I'll continue to support them.
E:
Also a quick note there is a bit of misinformation floating around. He doesn't own many of the domains, he just runs the mailservers for them.
