PA: Judge orders identities of commenters be revealed

Posted on August 13, 2010 by pogowasright.org

Mary Niederberger reports:

Forward Township Supervisor Thomas DeRosa has won a court victory in the action that he filed in November to uncover the identities of people who posted comments on an online bulletin board that he said defamed him.

On Wednesday, the ACLU, which had intervened in the case, turned over the Internet Protocol addresses of six individuals who made specific posts that Mr. DeRosa mentioned in his court filings.

Read more in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The ACLU’s previous press release and materials on the case can be found on the ACLU of Pennsylvania site.

Ms. Niederberger’s coverage also includes discussion of other current cases involving unmasking anonymous commenters.
