Domain names are a vulnerable spot affecting freedom of communication, and governments are not the only threats.

 Dissent Doe :cupofcoffee: wrote the following post Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:32:09 -0800 Last Friday I received a letter from a U.K. law firm with an attached injunction. The law firm claimed I must remove two posts about their client.

That is not going to happen. I am not under the jurisdiction of the U.K. or the High Court of Justice. My lawyer informed them of that yesterday.

But DataBreaches.net might disappear tomorrow because the U.K. law firm sent the injunction to my domain registrar who, innocently believing them, informed me they will suspend my site if I don't remove the posts within 24 hours. I have replied to them but have not heard back.

So...

If my site is gone tomorrow, I will let you know where you can read a lot more about the injunction and how the injunction poses a serious risk of censorship in the U.K.

If my site is still online tomorrow, I will still let you know here where you can read about the over-reaching injunction obtained in a private hearing where no one represented journalists whose reporting was being censored.
