Masked Email Activist Can Stay Anonymous

Posted by samzenpus on from the guess-who-I-am dept.

Mitchell writes "The NewStandard is reporting that a Texas judge ruled in favor of an anonymous political activist who used a Yahoo! email account to notify the press and to potential voters about the wasteful spending practices of Texas politician Jimmy Cokinos. Cokinos lost relection, and tried to nail "recall_carl01" with a defamation lawsuit, but a judge threw out the bid since the emailed critiques weren't defamatory."

    You can turn that on and off for messages. I'm a subscriber and have it disabled, but turned it on for this post.
