A Los Angeles-based tech company is resisting a federal demand for more than 1.3 million IP addresses to identify visitors to a website set up to coordinate protests on Inauguration Day — a request whose breadth the company says violates the Constitution.

“What we have is a sweeping request for every single file we have” in relation to DisruptJ20.org, said Chris Ghazarian, general counsel for DreamHost, which hosts the site. “The search warrant is not only dealing with everything in relation to the website but also tons of data about people who visited it.”

The request also covers emails between the site’s organizers and people interested in attending the protests, any deleted messages and files, as well as subscriber information — such as names and addresses — and unpublished photos and blog posts that are stored in the site’s database, according to the warrant and Ghazarian.

Used to work next door to DreamHost and knew people that worked there.  There were pretty cool folks back then. I assume they still are.

They know when you are sleeping.

They know when you're awake.

We think that they may know if you visited a website that helped people coordinate protests.

So be good for goodness' sake.

Yes except Santa gives you the (malicious) cookies.

Why does this not surprise me? Yet another manifestation of Trump's obsession with those who oppose him.

He might as well investigate 75 percent of the population at this point.

It's not like this shit wasn't going on BEFORE him but yeah it's certainly not going to improve in the least.

There's money to be made if you're antifa.

And he will have the support from most elected officials

[UndertheHalo]

They're going to get it .  Wow. 

 

[mtangelsfan]

This is very, very, very bad.

[Lhalo]

I want to see the judge's ruling to see how he justified this. 

[Spirit]

This is seriously horrifying.

 

 

[Blarg]

This is the hill to die on for citizens right to assemble. 

[RallyMo]

This is terrible. Everyone, everywhere should be concerned about this.

[mtangelsfan]

I will be phoning my senators and congressman
