Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler found that the companies did not present a need for the users’ details to be disclosed that outweighed their right to anonymous speech under the US Constitution’s First Amendment. “As with the last subpoena, the plaintiffs have not shown that the identifying information is directly or materially relevant or unavailable from another source,” Beeler’s latest ruling stated.
