I'm not sure a secure server would really protct from a supoena. I was a little shocked at the idea of a blanket order to produce email addresses and a copy of the hard drive. I know there was one report of babblers postings being used in a divorce but I had imagined that discovering them would be a chance act rather that as a result of a nonspecific search. Sounds like a fishing expedition.
I had thought they might be used in child custody or divorce situations but the idea of being used to deny health insurance was a new one for me. It also opens up the possibility of records being supoenaed in the case of professional liability-to prove the professional was impaired either by medication or illness to show preexisting conditions and deny insurance . Really creepy.
