Glassdoor.com is in hot water after federal investigators in the US sent a subpoena to unmask anonymous users who might be "third party witnesses" to certain business practices by a company under investigation for fraud.

Can DevRant (@dfox, @trogus) be forced to unmask its users (IPs, emails) in a any way, by the US government (@fbi, @cia, @nsa) or any other government (@svr_rf, @mss, @mi6, @bnd), should a similar situation arise?

    Well hexical labs (sorry @dfox @trogus i know i spelt that wrong) is a US company so they would have to if given a court order or the company would get shutdown and they would go to jail.

    I'm not sure exactly what happened in the Glassdoor case, but for us...

    I can't see any reason we'd ever get an unmasking request unless someone posted something extremely illegal/committed a crime. Outside of that the request would likely be inappropriate and we would never blindly accept a baseless request.

    Isn't there a prosedure, where you sign a cert with your private key and have it on your website. You just sign it for a limited period of time and when under investigation and ordered not to tell the users, just don't sign it anymore, which serves as a "warning"

    It get's combined with a delete function, deleting all stored informations. Plus you'd need to "loose" your backups.

    @aqparks Apart from spy on everything? No, not really. They're more secretive about everything else.
