Looks like the Justice Department is about to get a lot of names of people who visited "rogue" websites.
As DreamHost noted, the Justice Department's request raises alarms because the information could potentially be used to identify people who were exercising their Constitutional right of free speech.
"That should be enough to set alarm bells off in anyone's mind," the web-hosting company said on its blog. "This is, in our opinion, a strong example of investigatory overreach and a clear abuse of government authority."
