http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/346544-dreamhost-claims-doj-requesting-info-on-visitors-to-anti-trump-website*Snip*
Dreamhost, a web hosting provider, said that it has been working with the Department of Justice for several months on the request, which believes goes too far under the Constitution.
DreamHost claimed that the complying with the request from the Justice Department would amount to handing over roughly 1.3 million visitor IP addresses to the government, in addition to contact information, email content and photos of thousands of visitors to the website, which was involved in organizing protests against Trump on Inauguration Day.

Most of the big companies facing FISA and antiterror requests get gag orders that prevent them from admitting it ever happened.

requesting info on Nazi/alt right sites. ??? "Many sides, many sides."
The bias is plain to see.
Oh yeah, fuck Trump.

Weve already written about problems with the governments investigation into the J20 protestsa series of demonstrations on January 20, the day of President Trumps inaugurationwhich resulted in the arrest of hundreds of protesters.
But prosecutors in DC are still at it. And theyre still using unconstitutional methods to pursue their investigation.
This time they served a search warrant on hosting provider DreamHost that would require the company to turn over essentially all information on a website it hosts, www.disruptj20.orga site that was dedicated to organizing and planning the protest.
