Kiwi Farms challenges DMCA subpoenas as tools to unmask anonymous speech (reclaimthenet.org)

Kiwi Farms operator Lolcow LLC has sued Liz Fong-Jones in New York, arguing her DMCA subpoenas are being used to unmask anonymous users rather than address valid copyright infringement. The case centers on Fong-Jones’s claims over a screenshot of a Bluesky post and an edited headshot that forum users posted for discussion. The article highlights that DMCA subpoenas can force identity disclosure without an initial merits review, raising First Amendment and anonymity concerns, with reference to prior court rulings requiring stronger scrutiny.
