Even if you are, it doesn’t mean you’re fluent in legalises!

What it was is that a guy who’d been run out of MIT by the Title IX kangaroo court is suing MIT. He wanted his identity to be kept secret (as his accuser, apparently his ex-girlfriend, is). He’s been allowed, provisionally, to launch an anonymous suit not because identifying himself would damage his reputation (ie he would be publicly saying he was accused of sexual assault), nor because it may have a “chilling effect” (the same thing that’s always trotted out to say false rape accuses shouldn’t be charged, or even that accused men should always be found guilty) on others in the same situation, but because of potential to identify third parties.

The aim is essentially to restrict the ability of people to sue under anonymity to a minimum. It doesn’t look good now that Biden and his creature Lhamon are bringing the whole circus back with a vengeance.
