Summaryanon here. The summary has been updated:
https://ponepaste.org/9926Now, quite some things have happened recently:
-An anon gets the idea of taking The List (or at least some of its claims) seriously, and makes a new thread for that subject. It backfires horribly, to say the least. They've also taken the "fight" to /jdb/ on 4chan (it seems they've got better success there, though that's not saying much). Oh, and one guy who agreed with said thread's OP slandered /mlpol/ and (You) a bunch, so now the mods have added a good ol'
>Literally one post on the entire site by this usermessage to his post.
-Some more info about how the PCL operated, more specifically, the invite process (see
>>24340). Also, more proof for the DaringShepard-mastermind theory (
>>24351).
-DataBytes gets banned from FimFiction and the FimFiction discord (based).
-And, now, the big development we've all somewhat expected would happen at one point or another. DataBytes. PRIVATED. THE LIST. In its place is a "Public Notice" - DataBytes's thoughts on the whole situation, and his own attempt at clearing up "misinformation". Oh, and there's also an elusive login prompt, passing which supposedly leads to the current state of The List. Now, we just gotta wait for someone either to crack the password (good luck!) or to leak it, just like how someone leaked The List originally.
Don't want to wait for all of that to happen, though? Worry not, though, for it's been well archived!

https://www.fimfiction.net/group/12/clopfics/thread/536499/fimfetch-owner-declares-jihad-on-foalcon-doxes-hundreds-of-users#comment/7961779Besides that, some generous anons in this thread have also tried their hand at showcasing the failings of DataBytes's "response" (see
>>24452,
>>24460,
>>24461).
Though all the important things about the notice have already been said, I'd still like to bring attention to this excerpt:
>The 4chan MLP community almost immediately went into a vindictive frenzy to do their best to attack the perceived threat to their interests, especially as it seems that a good number of them were on the list for some reason or another. <...>>However, the most dangerous response was when some people decided to directly attack myself and others who supported or tolerated this document in any way. My personal information was posted publicly and packages were sent to my front door. My photos and pictures of my family were posted in online threads where people fantasized about me committing suicide or being gassed to death. Several threatening messages were sent to me personally. At least one attempt is known to have been made to get police to raid someone’s home. A Derpibooru moderator shared information to get more people harassed. The thread on 4chan got so bad that moderators stepped in and deleted the thread, and their fallback site had to have the site administrator step in multiple times.My takeaways from this:
1. He likes to generalise all of us for the actions of the few.
2. He sees no distinction between /mlp/ and /mlpol/.
3. He denies all responsibility for the thread/post deleting on 4chan (>The thread on 4chan got so bad that moderators stepped in and deleted the thread)
3. Apparently, saying a mean comment (
>>23594) actually means fantasizing about it. Sorry to inform you, but if someone tells you "Go fuck yourself!", they aren't imagining you having autofellatio.
4. Back to that statement, note how he uses the plural ("in online threads") to overexaggerate the extent of where his photos where posted. In reality, the photos were only posted here and on a near-immediately deleted 4chan thread that no one cared about.
5. There was a attempt to raid PhoenixFire's house.
6. He seems to leave out all the false reports that were filed to /mlpol/.
Probably more things to infer, but I'm kinda running out of space now.
