Get the Word Out! Intimidation of Foreign Workers Now Directed at Americans

Intimidation of Foreign Workers Now Directed at Americans: Facebook, Yahoo, Comcast Drawn In

All I want for Christmas is a progressive blogger to cover this threat to all American worker web sites.

"Nuisance lawsuits and threats of legal entanglement, long used by Indian H-1b labor contractors to silence Indian tech workers, have now been aimed at an American tech worker website, endh1b.com, for reposting an Indian H-1B worker's testimony of mistreatment by Apex Technology Group.

A New Jersey judge, sided with Apex Tenchnology Group on Wednesday  and ordered Facebook, Yahoo, and Comcast and  to reveal the identities of three John Does named in the injunction.

If successful, this injunction will squelch every American's security to post their workplace complaints anonymously. It will create a credible threat that, at any time, web hosting and web site companies could be forced to reveal identities of anonymous posters."
