New York Attorney General Letitia James has been accused of using legal tactics to shut down the alt-right website VDARE by forcing them to reveal donors or close. Critics claim this is an assault on free speech and independent media. VDARE's refusal to comply with subpoenas led to its shutdown, sparking concerns about protecting anonymous contributors and the implications for opsec. Various commentators and supporters have rallied against what they see as an abuse of power by Letitia James.
VDare is being destroyed by subpoena. The financial burden is enormous. There is a professor who wrote a book about Antifa, talks openly about approving of its aims. A GOP AG could batter him with subpoenas, find out as much about Antifa as possible, cripple him financially.
What's happening to VDARE will not stop with them Letitia James and the rest of these thugs have an agenda They will come for you too https://t.co/ThCgnHse52

Don’t let that happen: https://t.co/LDaDSJ254Z https://t.co/AxvAuthQU8
This is insane. VDARE never committed a crime, they just refused to go along with Letitia James’ fishing expedition that would have outed their anonymous writers. The NY Attorney General is using her office to settle political scores. https://t.co/wbGNcAnBhs
VDARE has been shut down by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Key issue was their refusal to comply with subpoenas for emails that would have doxxed anon contributors. Important lesson here for anons and opsec when contributing to any publication, even good guys.
VDARE, one of the 1st alt/dissident right sites, was just destroyed by the NY state AG (Letitia James) - who used skillfully targeted chess-move litigation to make the site choose between revealing every donor and closing. Link to their last message below. Thoughts? https://t.co/LQ5AfEXsc1
Yeah I’m curious where Fox/Daily Wire/Con Inc. are on this — missing in action I haven’t done a deep search, but I don’t think they’ve written any articles about what should be a catnip article for their audience: Letitia James’ lawfare as an assault on free speech https://t.co/Pa2RQqBlwn
VDARE is unpopular with fashionable opinion, so almost everyone was too cowardly to come to its defense when Letitia James hounded it into penury. I'm sure letting Letitia win will lead to awesome results for everyone https://t.co/5iYUVVDIXo
