That is basically correct.

People registered at this board should have no expectation that we would not comply with a lawful subpoena or search warrant. If you dont want people to know who you are, the onus is on you not to include your personally identifiable information in your registration, and also not to voluntarily tell it yourself. That is your responsibility not ours.

Our "anti-outing policy" only extends to public disclosures such as one board member outing another, not to compliance with lawful subpoeanas or warrants.

That being said, I am closing this thread. If somebody wants to comment on some aspect of this thread, try and start a better thread than this.
