We publish them as they are received, with only personally identifiable information redacted. ####Why is this? In short, we believe that transparency is a virtue. Chilling Effects explains it well: "We are excited about the new opportunities the Internet offers individuals to express their views . . . but concerned that not everyone feels the same way. Study to date suggests that cease and desist letters often silence Internet users, whether or not their claims have legal merit." ([Source](http://www.chillingeffects.org/about)). Similarly, we post takedown notices here to document their potential to "chill" speech.
