@Gargron If Facebutt had their way, they'd copyright the letter "F" and sue anyone else who dared to use it.

Ironically, when this company finally does shut down, I doubt anyone will press F.

@Gargron “'You don’t know who to sue until you’ve got the Whois information,' claimed Facebook rep Margie Millam at one such recent meeting. 'So it’s backwards to say you have to have a lawsuit and you have to use your subpoena power under the lawsuit to get access to Whois.'"

Bullshit. File against John Doe and the court can subpoena the registrar for their details if their case can pass summary judgement. They can't so they try going through the back door this way

@Gargron

It's unbelievable what they want to get away with.

"However, commercial companies claim that their rights must also be considered, particularly around trademarks, and they should also be granted access."

That's when they need to get a warrant through those legitimate companies.

I installed Messenger Lite for a few minutes thinking about contacting a friend.. then my phone felt gross.

I may have met some of their employees on the street in Austin. N A S T Y
