Casa Robino

U.S. Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan rejected arguments raised by the
ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and a host of private attorneys
representing the Twitter account holders, who had asserted that their
privacy was protected by federal law, the First Amendment, and the Fourth
Amendment.
Buchanan rejected each of the arguments in quick succession, saying that
there was no First Amendment issue because activists "have already made
their Twitter posts and associations publicly available." The account
holders have "no Fourth Amendment privacy interest in their IP addresses,"
she said, and federal privacy law did not apply because prosecutors were
not seeking contents of the communications. ///
J?nsd?ttir said in a Twitter message after the ruling that it's now "time
to apply pressure on social media to move their servers out of the U.S."
