Judge allows advocate to post Social Security numbers of government officials
A federal judge struck a compromise to allow a Virginia woman to post the Social Security numbers of public officials but not those of private citizens, all of which can be easily obtained through legal means. In posting the numbers of public officials, the woman is trying to get them to pass laws to protect privacy and curtail identity theft. -DB Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press June 4, 2009 By Kathleen Cullinan A
