In the first case dealing with the privacy of internet bloggers, the judge
ruled that Mr Horton had no “reasonable expectation” to anonymity because

The Las Vegas Review-Journal says it has been served with
a federal grand jury subpoena seeking information on people who posted
supposedly threatening anonymous comments on a story about a tax fraud
trial. — The Register
