A former ad executive sued the account for defamation a year ago after he was fired.
The people behind an anonymous Instagram account that shook up the advertising industry with its attempts to take down alleged sexual harassers appear one step closer to being revealed.
The Instagram account's Stories called him a sexual harasser and claimed he targeted and groomed women. Since then, Watson has also filed a lawsuit in New York against individuals he claims are behind the Instagram account that live in the state , as well as his against former employer. In August, Watson's obtained a court order to issue subpoenas to Facebook, Instagram and Google to provide identifying information about the individuals behind the account and certain Gmail accounts. Diet Madison Avenue sought to quash the subpoenas, but a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied the motion.
"People say things online and think they're largely hidden from discovery," said Albert Gidari, consulting director of privacy at the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School. But in many cases those individuals can be identified, he said. "If you're really smart and you want to defame somebody, you go to Starbucks, where it's an open or public WiFi," Gidari said.
