Justice Dept. Drops Request for 1.3M Visitor IP Addresses for Website DisruptJ20.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Justice Department has dropped its request for IP addresses of 1.3
million visitors to the website Disrupt J20.org, which helped organize
the Inauguration Day protests against President Trump. The Justice
Department is continuing to press the web hosting company Dream Host to
turn over information about what it claims was a "premeditated riot"
during Trump's inauguration. More than 200 protesters were arrested
during the Inauguration Day protests and are now facing decades in
prison on trumped-up charges.
