In the physical world, the government can search only one apartment in an apartment building with a single warrant; it can’t search the entire apartment building. Are the collective records of a website more like an apartment building or a single apartment? If this is the reasoning they're going then yes, Dreamhost is out of luck. One account is pretty obviously an apartment on a server (building) with the website be…
Context can be important, too. Perhaps the website is the "apartment building" and the accounts on the website are the apartments. In that case, not so obvious.

This comment basically ensures that it will be difficult to really discuss what's going on with Dreamhost and the DOJ, and that we'll all instead have to grapple with some other issue you prefer. That's not a polite thing to do to an HN thread.
Pretty shocking that someone who, I guess, wants private corporations to be forced to give Nazis a platform would be impolite?
In that case, You don't understand the spirit of HN.
The alt-left are dangerous but Dreamhost should resist until all legal channels are exhausted. Checks and balances!
What alt-left? Are you referring to community defense groups trying to protect their communities from Nazis? Dangerous to whom?
Antifa is a good example with their huge riots and firebombing of cars during Trump's inauguration.
The son of Israel's PM considers them a bigger threat to the jewish people than actual neo-nazis (surprising to me). http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-junior-says-leftists-...
Sorry, but antifa is more than Anti-Trump Activists, they are dangerous. They attack people for political reasons and are largely unpunished because they wear all black and wear masks. They are the clowns that started fires in berkeley and hit the Trump support in the head with a bike lock, causing a fractured skull. That's no good imo.
Correct. Pardon the source but I just searched for "antifa knife" and copied the first link: http://bigleaguepolitics.com/man-stabbed-antifa-mob-outside-... The alt-left is getting bolder and more dangerous.
There are enough nutjobs on both sides without making them up.
Not defending violence in any form.

If you hurt me (many innocent people were hurt), but you do it because you feel "political", it's OK? Isn't the law supposed to be blind, or do political groups have a "get out of jail free" card?
> Isn't the law supposed to be blind, or do political groups have a "get out of jail free" card? Yes, core political speech is Constitutionally protected [1]. You can charge people being violent while protecting their rights to say stupid things. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_in_the_Unite... Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.

And the alt-right is getting dumber. Seriously, "bigleaguepolitics.com"? Are you going to peddle Seth Rich conspiracy theories now too? Because that's also on their front page.
Like I said, I just searched on twitter for the knife attack and clicked the first link. Disregard the source. Was this man not knifed?

I find it ... odd that not one mainstream media source is in the results there.
For a stabbing...
Not even a local paper.
Not even Fox News.
Just Infowars, Breitbart, AboveTopSecret, all right wing and/or conspiracy sites.

I wonder where we draw the line, particularly with ubiquitous companies like Google, Facebook, and ISPs. Would you be ok if Comcast decided to disallow you from accessing sites they determine are offensive? Or filesharing? Or porn? Even if it is their right to do so, it'd make me uncomfortable.
No one has a problem when they remove sites affiliated with ISIS but apparently Nazis should be given a pass because "free speech". Uh huh.....

Don't refer to these morons committing violent acts in the name of protest as "alt-left." It does nothing but legitimize them, much as the moniker "alt-right" legitimizes white supremacists. There is a time and a place for violent protest/revolution, but we're nowhere near there yet.

The collection of people that are drawn to the ideal of small-government and liberty is larger than the subset you describe.
