Chevron corporation granted access to Activists' private internet data after ruling

[JustExtreme]

[QUOTE]The US government is not the only entity who, with judicial approval, is amassing massive amounts of personal information against their so-called enemies.

A federal judge[URL="http://dg5vd3ocj3r4t.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/documents/Kaplan-Order-Hotmail-IP-subpoena_0.pdf"] has ruled[/URL] to allow Chevron, through a subpoena to Microsoft, to collect the IP usage records and identity information for email accounts owned by over 100 environmental activists, journalists and attorneys.

The oil giant is demanding the records in an attempt to cull together a lawsuit which alleges that the company was the victim of a conspiracy in the $18.2 billion judgment against it for [URL="http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2011/09/20-5"]dumping 18.5 billion gallons of oil waste [/URL]in the Ecuadorean Amazon, causing untold damage to the rainforest.

The "sweeping" subpoena was one of three issued to Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft.[/QUOTE]

Is the alleged conspiracy really just "conspiracy to lawfully use the court system"? If so, that's insane.

Is the judge really violating client-attorney privilege? That's also insane.

Is this private data being handed directly to Chevron rather than being entered as evidence to a lawsuit? That would insane the insane.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;41430143]I wonder how little everyone (the vast majority of the public) will care about this.
IF they even learn about it in the first place.

I swear we're collapsing under our own ignorance and obliviousness here. :v:[/QUOTE]

Reporting this story would not be in their best interest.

I hope they put their shit through an encrypted VPN.

Wonder how much cash they paid to that federal judge.
