# Jane Doe, Meet Jane Doe. We're Coming to Court. The internet would like to file a motion.

The court wants to caution the internet.

Well, this is awkward. In the ongoing Jane Doe v. Cornell University circus, where apparently everyone gets to be anonymous except the people asking inconvenient questions, LucyCraig.blog is preparing to enter the case as another Jane Doe. That's right.

In the ongoing Jane Doe v. Cornell University circus, where apparently everyone gets to be anonymous except the people asking inconvenient questions, LucyCraig.blog is preparing to enter the case as another Jane Doe. That's right. Jane Doe is asking the court for permission to let Jane Doe challenge an order in Jane Doe's case.

You genuinely cannot make this shit up.

Our administrator, JaneDoe1 and his attorney (the voices in his head) are preparing a nonparty motion seeking to open the judicial record, challenge unnecessary sealings, and object to the Court's October 9 order-particularly that delightful little footnote 2 warning even nonparties to act "accordingly."

Accordingly to what, exactly? The judicially approved temperature for expressing an opinion on the internet? Are we getting a thermostat up our asses with the next order?

Here's the problem: you can't have a massively publicized lawsuit, fight over the narrative in the media, and then act scandalized when the public develops opinions. That's not how the First Amendment works. That's not even how a fucking conversation works.

Meanwhile, this little independent blog has now recorded over 3 million views, nearly 3,000 comments, and >6,000 reactions. People are debating, disagreeing, laughing, criticizing, and occasionally demonstrating why humanity shouldn't be trusted with a keyboard. And guess what? That's free speech. Actual threats and unlawful harassment are another matter entirely, but offending somebody's delicate sensibilities isn't a crime.

We aren't demanding anyone's private address. We want the judicial record open with appropriate privacy redactions, and we want it made clear that judicial warnings aren't backdoor gag orders against people who aren't even parties to the litigation.

So congratulations, Lucy Craig (Jane Doe). There's potentially another Jane Doe (LucyCraig.blog) headed for the docket.

And unlike the people trying to win the public-relations war, we're asking for something terrifyingly radical: let the public read the records and make up its own fucking mind.
