DOJ warrant of Trump resistance site triggers alarm

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A brewing fight between the Justice Department (DOJ) and a technology firm over visitors to an anti-Trump website is stirring alarm among privacy and civil liberties advocates. 

DreamHost, a Los Angeles-based web hosting provider, is challenging a federal request for records, files and other information on a website that was used to organize protests against President Trump on Inauguration Day.

While prosecutors are seeking the information in connection with inauguration riots, privacy advocates describe the request as overly broad and one that, if honored, could have a chilling effect on free speech.

“This to me on its face looks like a fishing expedition,” said Nuala O’Connor, president and CEO of the Center for Democracy and Technology. “It cannot be in this democracy that simply going to a website is [indicative] of criminal or suspicious activity.”

1. You are on the KGOP enemies list

If not now, soon.

2. Tyrants try to use their power to exact revenge on their enemies

The awesome thing about America is we have the judicial & legislative branches of government to reign in the little trumplestiltskin

4. Trump is packing the courts with Gorsuch-style judges and justices.

So I wouldn't count on the judicial. Legislative is mostly GOP. Trump has issued a big "fuck you" to America on any and all ethics violations and has done the same in regards to Nazi terrorism. The legislative branch approves every iota of it and has done nothing to reign him in.

So...I dunno.
