What do right-wing churches, kiss-ins, homophobic lawyers, and Riseup have in common? They were all involved in "Mount Hope Baptist Church v. Riseup.net" in US Federal court. The short story: we kicked ass.
After a right-wing church subpoenaed the account records of several Riseup users, we went to court on behalf of these users to defend their right to anonymous speech. By winning our case, Riseup has established an important precedent in US Federal court. Riseup's legal victory is important because it strengthens our ability to defend the anonymity of Riseup users.
Riseup is an autonomous tech collective which provides e-mail accounts, among other internet services. The "about us" page is linked below. In the interests of total disclosure, I am a contributor.
