The Justice Department Goes Fishing in DreamHost Case

Federal prosecutors want to see the personal information of everyone who visited an anti-Trump website.

Do you use the internet? Are you interested in politics? Do you value your privacy? If you answered yes, you should be alarmed by the shockingly broad search warrant sought by the Justice Department, and approved by a judge in Washington, D.C., last month, targeting DreamHost, an internet hosting company based in Los Angeles.

By forcing the government to defend this data sweep, DreamHost is doing an important service not only to its users, but also to the public at large.
