Canadian Judge Orders Disclosure of Anonymous Posters
debrain writes "The Globe and Mail is reporting that Google and a newspaper called The Coast must disclose all information they have about the identity of individuals who posted anonymous comments online about top firefighters in Halifax.

Hello Frank,

Thank you rueger for your insightful comment. I look forward to many more of your anonymous comments in the future. However, in this instance perhaps you would like to take your irony pill before posting.

Anonymity on the internet should not be allowed.
Because if I didn't waste my life caring what inconsequential people had to say, I'd have way too much time to be productive!
... that most of the comments were posted from phones registered to the president of Mexico.
Have gnu, will travel.
