>      At the center of the requests is disruptj20.org, a website
>    that organized participants of political protests against the
>    current United States administration. While we have no insight
>    into the affidavit for the search warrant (those records are
>    sealed), the DOJ has recently asked DreamHost to provide all
>    information available to us about this website, its owner,
>    and, more importantly, its visitors.  The request from the DOJ
>    demands that DreamHost hand over 1.3 million visitor IP
>    addresses -- in addition to contact information, email
>    content, and photos of thousands of people -- in an effort to
>    determine who simply visited the website.  (Our customer has
>    also been notified of the pending warrant on the account.)
>    That information could be used to identify any individuals who
>    used this site to exercise and express political speech
>    protected under the Constitution's First Amendment. That
>    should be enough to set alarm bells off in anyone's mind.
