Hand Over the Logs and No One Gets Hurt

Internet privacy is more important now than it’s ever been. In 2017 the Department of Justice approached DreamHost with a problematic subpoena for customer data.

In this case study, Brett Dunst will discuss how one company used its core values to turn a public dispute over website logs with the DOJ into a wildly successful global campaign for internet privacy, and why open platforms like WordPress are so important to preserving a free and open internet, especially in times of crisis.

About Sé Reed

I love WordPress. I build and manage WordPress sites. I cohost a weekly podcast on WordPress called the WPwatercooler. I like to discuss ideas, I like to find solutions, and I like to sing harmonies. Which, if you think about it, are all kinda the same thing. <3
