In Court Protects Anonymity of Yelp Users, Chanwoo Park and J. Alexander Lawrence highlight that there is “no uniform rule as to whether companies must reveal identifying information of their anonymous users” and court decisions on the matter have landed on both sides of the fence. In the Yelp case, the Supreme Court of Virginia decided in favor of Yelp users on procedural grounds, citing lack of court subpoena power over non-resident non-parties. However, even if the subpoena had been lawfully ordered and enforceable in California, Yelp could have looked to state recognized protections for anonymous speech and privacy. As the Socially Aware article emphasizes, because of the murky waters, in addition to procedural limitations, stakeholders need to be aware of individual state laws regarding freedom of speech and privacy.
