Preliminary Injunction GRANTED!!!
The Judge’s Order was just filed in our Motion seeking to enjoin the enforcement of the Internet Identifier changes and WE WON!!!
Here is an excerpt from the decision: The definition is hopelessly vague, chills speech protected by the First Amendment, and is far broader than necessary to serve the state’s legitimate interest in deterring or solving online sex crimes. This order grants a preliminary injunction.
The full order can be read here: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Preliminary-Injunction-Order.pdf
We will follow up with more commentary but wanted to share this with you as soon as it came off the press!!!

This is great news! I hate to be the devil’s advocate, but…..the provisions of the 2014 legislation are still in force and are just as punitive and unconstitutional as what was in the 2016 bill. Any hope of getting that rolled back?
Yes – our case is still moving forward. This victory was for a Preliminary Injunction to enjoin the change that was scheduled to take place.
I am one of the John Does that might testify for the Seminole County Lawsuit if it makes it that far. What is the status of that lawsuit? Last I heard, the judge denied the anonymous testifying.
BTW, as a thanks for your hard work, I just signed up for a monthly donation to help further the cause. You guys rock!
The Magistrate denied it and it was appealed to the Judge.
Mediation is on November 2nd.
It’s still moving forward.
I thank God for you guys! In a society that condemns without knowing any facts, you are fighting for us. Sometimes I don’t know why you would fight for us, but I truly thank God for you guys.
So what does this mean? Is there another step, or is it thrown out?
