    JuicyCampus.com subpoenaed

    By Colbert | March 19, 2008

    JuicyCampus.com, a Web site that publishes anonymous, often malicious gossip about college students has been subpoenaed to reveal records by New Jersey prosecutors. I looked at the JuicyCampus whois records and here is what I found :

    Domain servers in listed order:
    NS1.MEDIATEMPLE.NET
    NS2.MEDIATEMPLE.NET

    Language on the site ranges from catty to hateful and offensive. One thread, for example, on the “most overrated Princeton student” quickly dissolves into name-calling, homophobia and anti-Semitism.

    JuicyCampus may be violating the state’s Consumer Fraud Act by suggesting that it doesn’t allow offensive material but providing no enforcement of that rule — and no way for users to report or dispute the material, New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram said Tuesday.

    JuicyCampus founder Matt Ivester has expressed little concern in the past about backlash from colleges.

    “Like anything that is even remotely controversial, there are always people who demand censorship,” he told The Associated Press last month. “However, we believe that JuicyCampus can have a really positive impact on college campuses, as a place for both entertainment and free expression.”
