Chevron Gets Access to Private Data for Revenge Suit
By ocean-kat on Tue, 07/23/2013 - 12:58am |On June 25, a federal judge approved a subpoena, to be served by Chevron to Microsoft, granting the oil company private Internet and phone data related to 30 email addresses, including those related to environmental nonprofits, activists, journalists and lawyers.
In particular, the subpoena calls for the production of all documents related to “the identity of the users of the email addresses, including 'all names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, billing information, date of account creation, account information and all other identifying information.”
As the subpoena itself states, it would allow Chevron to determine the countries, states, cities and even building addresses from which accounts were used.
Chevron also served subpoenas around September 18, 2012,to Google and Yahoo, demanding IP logs and identifying information for approximately 71 email accounts.

It's not obvious whether they even made any attempt to justify the relevance of this data. And that "phone data" would likely include all Skype use - probably quite heavy use for NGOs - plus any use of Microsoft Lync accounts.
More on Kaplan's overreach re: his high-paid friends here, while Kaplan issued this subpoena supposedly because the First Amendment doesn't apply to foreigners and they don't have standing, but oops, looks like he caught up Americans in it anyway.
While it's only tangentially related to NSA sniffing, the idea that we can do anything we want to non-Americans seems to be gaining more and more sway with our court system. Exceptionalism lives, America Fuck Yeah!
BTW, Kaplan presided over the trial of Ghailani who'd been held in Gitmo & CIA prisons for 5 years before the gov decided not to use tribunal and give him a civilian trial instead (removing his long-time military attorneys as a result). Despite the jury convicting him only of 1 charge of conspiracy and dismissing 284 others including murder, Kaplan sentenced him to life in prison.

A huge corporation exploiting/using the internet metadata to screw us. Wow.
Who wudda ever thunk that a big business, not the government, would do bad stuff, try to use our emails and Facebook to infringe on our Constitutional rights? Can Snowden protect us from Chevron, or do we need the government to do that?
I note the article does say the Chevron subpoena for Amazon Watch was 'quashed' on Constitutional grounds of free speech. By the judge. Who works for our government.

Yes, was quashed in April after 6 months of fighting, and then Chevron turned around and got a subpoena approved by a different judge. Who works for our government. YMMV. Guess that free speech clause was inactive this time around.
