WordPress is software that people can install on any server and that can be used by anyone. It has become a powerful tool used by most bloggers and website to host and implement blogs. According to reviews, the organization WordPress has nothing to do with subpoena records since it does not bear the responsibility of the content posted by various websites.

When a blogger posts a defamatory or any objectionable comment on a website, the website host should be contacted. However, when a blog is not self-hosted but hosted at WordPress.com, victimized people can contact the WordPress organization to take action. Besides, the Internet Protocols of bloggers are maintained in a WordPress administration blog so that blog owners can have access to the information when needed.

In such instances is possible to subpoena records from WordPress to get the proxy of bloggers when someone or an entity is being attacked or defamed. When someone posts something on a website or blog, usually the website records the Internet Protocol address of the visitor at each visit. With a subpoena, people can get the Internet Protocol address of the defamer but they need a court order to get the particular ISP and identify who is associated to the Internet Protocol address.

It is only with a court order that WordPress.org will turn over other information that the blogger used to register like the email address, name used and other personal data. However, to subpoena records from WordPress for blog’s content is not possible as the organization is not responsible for how their software is used. Only the person who runs the website and who owns the domain and the company that hosts the website and/or blog can be held legally responsible. In most instances, WordPress is not held accountable.

To subpoena records from WordPress, a person needs to hire a lawyer who will file a lawsuit against John Doe. The claimant does not need to know the identity of the defamer to file a lawsuit since it is only when a subpoena will be served that the identity of the latter will be known. Domain registration is private information and only a court has authority to order disclosure of private data. WordPress like any private company needs to comply with a subpoena and any other court order. Knowing exactly what steps to take in this legal matter are important. Hiring a litigation support team or an attorney to advise you is recommended.

To divulge private information when a subpoena is served, WordPress needs the authorization of the person concerned. Any legal action taken against WordPress or its subscribers needs to follow the legal guidelines. Those persons who have administered the content have to be informed that he or she is being subject to legal investigation. Like most other Internet service providers they are extremely protective of their subscriber information and privacy thereof. In instances when subpoena records from WordPress are requested, the organization has still an obligation to respect the rights of its users.
