"Nearly two years before the U.S. government’s first known inquiry into
   the activities of Reddit co-founder and famed digital activist Aaron
   Swartz, the FBI swept up his email data in a counterterrorism
   investigation that also ensnared students at an American university,
   according to a once-secret document first published by Gizmodo.
   The email data belonging to Swartz, who was likely not the target of
   the counterterrorism investigation, was cataloged by the FBI and
   accessed more than a year later as it weighed potential charges against
   him for something wholly unrelated."
