What's interesting is that DOJ originally asked for some basic information such as physical and email addresses, which the ISP provided. Then in July they demanded the whole enchilada, including IP addresses, private email sent through their server, what pages were viewed, how much time was spent viewing them, what software was running on the visitor's computer, etc. That's the point where the ISP said it wouldn't comply.
The administrator of the web site said they didn't keep any logs, and that he assumed that many of the visitors were law enforcement. The ISP does keep detailed logs for a short period of time, and almost immediately after the inauguration was slapped with a demand to retain records. |
