Washington (CNN) Trump administration lawyers are demanding the private account information of potentially thousands of Facebook users in three separate search warrants served on the social media giant, according to court documents obtained by CNN.

The warrants specifically target the accounts of three Facebook users who are described by their attorneys as "anti-administration activists who have spoken out at organized events, and who are generally very critical of this administration's policies."

One of those users, Emmelia Talarico, operated the disruptj20 page where Inauguration Day protests were organized and discussed; the page was visited by an estimated 6,000 users whose identities the government would have access to if Facebook hands over the information sought in the search warrants. In court filings, Talarico says if her account information was given to the government, officials would have access to her "personal passwords, security questions and answers, and credit card information," plus "the private lists of invitees and attendees to multiple political events sponsored by the page."

These warrants were first reported by LawNewz.com.

Can you believe this ******* Orwellian bullshit?
 
I hope FaceBook refuses. If Obama had done this against StormFront or one of the other online hate sites, the outcry would have been huge!
 
Can you believe this ******* Orwellian bullshit?

Yep. How very Soviet of them.

And to think that they initially wanted the IP information of every visitor to the disruptj20 page. That means even the people on this forum who clicked the link from a thread here just to even see what it was.
 
There's already a thread on this.
 
You libs are in trouble
