B.C. Supreme Court throws out logging company’s request for protester’s social media identities - Terrace Standard

A West Kootenay logging company has lost its bid to have a group of protesters disclose the identities behind its social media accounts.

Cooper Creek Cedar had asked for first and last names linked with Last Stand West Kootenay’s Facebook group, as well as their contact information and IP addresses of a number of individual Facebook and Instagram accounts, information from the domain provider GoDaddy.com and the B.C.-based software company ConnectionPoint Systems Inc.

In her decision March 27, Justice Lindsay Lyster said she company never showed how the posts met the standard for tort law, which is an act or omission that gives rise to injury or harm to another in civil law, or breached the injunction.
