member supported, nonprofit organization that works to protect civil liberties and human rights in the digital world

Commenting on GSB’s New York Supreme Court petition, which is currently under appeal, 
EFF’s Brendan Gilligan wrote in a March 12th article
;

Like speech itself, the First Amendment right to anonymity fosters and advances public debate and self-realization.

Anonymity allows speakers to communicate their ideas without being defined by their identity.

Anonymity protects speakers who express critical or unpopular views from harassment, intimidation, or being silenced.

And, because powerful individuals or entities’ efforts to punish one speaker through unmasking may well lead others to remain silent, protecting anonymity for one speaker can promote free expression for many others.

Too often, however, corporate or human persons try to abuse the judicial process to unmask anonymous speakers.

Thus, courts should apply robust evidentiary and procedural standards before compelling the disclosure of an anonymous speaker’s identity.

In the New York Supreme Court case, GSB has thus far failed to provide any supporting evidence in relation to their claims.

GSB, GSPartners and Heit meanwhile have been the subject of over a dozen regulatory fraud warnings.
