Feds

The internet slang term “Feds” is a shortened and informal way of referring to the federal law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) or the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). It typically implies the government’s presence or interference in online activities.

Examples:

1. I don’t think it’s wise to post those controversial statements on social media, you never know when the Feds might come knocking on your door.

2. Be careful what you say in those encrypted group chats, the Feds have ways of monitoring online conversations.
