I am not seeing this covered as thoroughly as it might be. The Department of Justice has requested information on over 1.3m people who visited disruptj20.org. Gizmodo and The Verge seem to have the most coverage at the moment, but, in some ways, this is as disturbing as Charlottesville. The only reason to look at this site is because it is anti-Trump and organized protests for his inauguration. Asking to see information about the people who were arrested or seen near the violence would be a reasonable limitation on the warrant, but that's not what's happening. The DoJ want information on anyone who used the site, ever.

I can't swear that I never followed a link and ended up there by accident, even if I know I never went there deliberately. Can you?

Please be careful.

Or, instead of being careful, drive as much traffic to such sites as possible, to flood their records with bogus data.

Man, we should have something like Folding@Home for covering for leftwing activists: a program that runs on your computer, spoofs being random popular browsers, and visits a curated list of organizing sites, in the background when you're not using your machine. People who want to support the resistance can then volunteer to run it on their computers, to help be haystack for the needles to hide in.
