Prosecutors and tech company embroiled in battle over info from anti-Trump website
By Keith L. Alexander September 10 at 4:33 PM
Executives from a Los Angeles-based tech company said they are weighing whether to fight a judge’s order to provide D.C. prosecutors with email addresses and other information from people who visited an anti-Trump website in the months before Inauguration Day.
The company, DreamHost, filed a motion with D.C. Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin last week requesting that he put his order on hold while they consider whether to appeal.
But prosecutors, concerned that such a delay could hinder their cases against dozens charged in Inauguration Day riots, have asked the judge to force DreamHost to turn over the data immediately.
In a year when DreamHost was looking forward to celebrating its 20th anniversary, the company has been propelled into a high-profile privacy-rights case as a result of managing the server for a website that authorities say facilitated rioting on the day of President Trump’s inauguration.
