Statement from 02138 President and Founder Bom Kim: Judge Douglas Woodlock ruled today in the Federal District Court in Boston to deny Facebook’s request to take down the source documents for the article “Poking Facebook” from the 02138 Web site. This is a victory not only for 02138, but also for the First Amendment. We felt we had an important responsibility to report the story and we hope that we were able to promote greater public understanding of the origins of a powerful and influential Web site. The judge concluded that the article was an example of “core journalism” and that the original documents posted on 02138mag.com increased transparency, offering readers unfiltered access to more information with which to evaluate the story.
