Give me everything you have

That's what the Department of Justice (DOJ) has said to DreamHost, a Los Angeles-based web hosting company. DOJ has asked the company for more than 1.3 million IP addresses to identify visitors to a website set up to coordinate protests on Inauguration Day .

The company argues that DOJ's search warrant is not only dealing with everything in relation to the website but also tons of data about people who visited it. The warrant is also asking for emails between the site’s organizers and people interested in attending the protests, any deleted messages and files, as well as subscriber information — such as names and addresses — and unpublished photos and blog posts that are stored in the site’s database.
