DOJ Subpoenas Twitter About Popehat, Dissent Doe And Others Over A Smiley Emoji Tweet

Posted on October 24, 2017 by Dissent

Over on TechDirt, Mike Masnick had the patience to write up and report on some of what I should have written up already, but hadn’t.

Read Mike’s report on how I and others wound up as the targets of a grand jury subpoena on TechDirt.

And if you read carefully, you’ll see that I wound up in the subpoena because someone added me to a list and sent me a smiley emoticon. I was not part of any convo, and I had not tweeted. Nor did I respond to the smiley. And yet the grand jury could then subpoena all of my information from Twitter, it seems.

I’ll have more to say on all this.

      Actually, I’d get the subpoena – for your details. Or my web host would. And I’d have to fight the subpoena to protect you.

      And then..

      And then…

      LOL
