西弗吉尼亚州Daniel法被联邦第四巡回上诉法院裁定违宪:联邦上诉法院首次推翻此类隐私保护法

西弗吉尼亚州消息:联邦第四巡回上诉法院10月27日裁定,西弗吉尼亚州的《Daniel法》(Daniel's Law)违宪。该法禁止在线公布法官与执法人员的家庭住址及未公开电话号码。这是联邦上诉法院首次推翻此类法律。
案件源于退休执法人员Michael Jackson对Thomson Reuters、Whitepages、Thryv、PeopleConnect、LexisNexis等数据机构提起的集体诉讼。该法名称源于2020年联邦法官Esther Salas之子Daniel Anderl遇害事件,西弗吉尼亚州于2021年据此立法。

West Virginia's Daniel's Law Ruled Unconstitutional by Fourth Circuit, a First for a Federal Appeals Court
WEST VIRGINIA — The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled on October 27 that West Virginia's Daniel's Law — which bans publishing the home addresses and unlisted phone numbers of judges and law enforcement officers online — is unconstitutional. It is the first time a federal appeals court has struck down such a law.
The case stems from a class action brought by retired law enforcement officer Michael Jackson against data companies including Thomson Reuters, Whitepages, Thryv, PeopleConnect and LexisNexis. The law is named for Daniel Anderl, the son of federal Judge Esther Salas, who was killed in 2020; West Virginia enacted its version in 2021.
