Did you read the article? Its not just about hardware being taken and there's things that can be done to even minimize that issue.

Well, I don’t really see the headline in it, tbh. That is, yeah of course servers can be seized? That’s kinda a given?
It doesn’t really matter what software they run in regards to whether they can be seized or not.

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.

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?
