Updated Internet Identifier Requirement
Most of you reading this have already received a notice from FDLE regarding the fact that in light of the federal injunction ordered yesterday, the revision to the definition of “Internet Identifiers” that was supposed to take effect this Saturday (the one that includes all URLs) will not be enforced, but the 2014 definition (what it is currently) will remain in effect until further notice.
The other reminder they stressed (and which we’ve received a ton of inquiries about) is that if you are under supervision you are supposed to report your identifiers to your Probation officers before use.
How this is to be reported or what to do if it’s a weekend is unclear to FAC. You will need to reach out to your probation officers to find out what their plan for collecting and reporting this information is and abide by that.

My son went for his reporting date yesterday. He was required only to give unique identifiers. He was not required to give the website they were used on etc. When he asked about it he was told that the law is back to the 2014 law. (as stated in this article) He is Seminole county
Correct – our Injunction was granted.
Can you give me a bit more clarity on this? Is the original definition just for social media accounts? And how and who do list members report them to if they are not under supervision? Thanks….
The original definition applies to everything online.
There is an online portal, or, in person at the sheriff’s office.
Its Oct 1st.. WHAT DO WE DO?
Keep doing what you’ve been doing.
If you are on supervision, notify your PO of your internet identifiers.
Funny, it was never mentioned to us before that we had to report all those identifiers to our probation officers before. And I’ve been on probation for 2 years now. So if every other amendment got struck down, then why not this requirement too?? Also, it was nice to see the FDLE have to retract their original notice it sounded like they had their tail between their legs. I love it. Let’s keep going to get the whole identifier requirement banned altogether
There is the main challenge, which is attacking the entire Internet Identifier requirement, and the Motion for Temporary Injunction, which prevents the implementation of the new definition of “Internet identifier” (which would have you registering each URL you visited (potentially hundreds of times per day for avid web surfers or people who work online).
We won the Motion for TRO and got our injunction.
The main case continues.
I agree. I have been on probation for 2-1/2 years, and I only report my main email to my PO. My PO has never asked for any of this information, I only give it to the sheriff’s office on my 6 month check in. I worry that there is so much vagueness and disagreement between the DOC and sheriff’s office about what the laws actually say, and yet we are caught in the middle.
I am still confused on the 2014 definition. Not sure if I have to list all apps on every device or just communication?
With the injunction in place, do we still need to report URL identifiers to our PO?
H,
No you do not! unless it is part of probation rules and/or court order
