I got a copy of the subpoena that AHF has sent to TTS and CET it is linked below.
What I want to point out is what it is that is being asked for.
REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1.
All DOCUMENTS and RECORDS, including COMMUNICATIONS,
REFERRING or RELATING to the results of all tests for any and all SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS that were provided to, forwarded to, released to,
accessed by, and/or utilized by the Free Speech Coalition, the Adult Industry Medical
Foundation, the Performer Availability Provider Services (also known as PASS), the
Adult Production Health & Safety Services (also known as APHSS), and/or any other
person or entity associated with and/or involved in the making of an ADULT FILM,
for all tests conducted during the period January 1, 2007 to the present. Information
that would disclose the identity of the persons who received the tests may be redacted
from the DOCUMENTS and/or RECORDS, including, but not limited to the
following: name, date of birth, social security number, address, and/or phone number.
The request is pretty clear to me they aren't really asking for any information that is technically private because they are requesting information that has already been shared (with or without performers knowledge or permission) with the FSC, APHSS, AIM and others. The testing facilities also have the option to redact any and all identifying information.
I don't like this one bit but then I dont like that any of this information has been shared with The FSC and others either...they cant say AHF is evil for doing EXACTLY what they are doing, they are both evil.
The FSC can ask you to write letters till the cows come home as we say here in the south but right now the testing facilities have only two choices, one is to comply and release the information, the other is to try and fight it in court and all the performer letters on earth wont change that...fighting it in court is expensive and may or may not be worth doing since AHF will argue that the information has already been shared and that they are perfectly fine with any and all identifying info being blacked out. If The FSC REALLY wants them to fight it maybe they should be offering TTS and CET resources to do so.
This is what you got with APHSS, I have said since it's inception that no good will come of it, specially with The FSC's dirty little hands all over it.
This information is going to really play hell with The FSC statements that porn is safe and that testing works. The real data is likely to be in direct contradiction to that.
I am contacting TTS and CET to inquire if they will redact all identifying information from the data they turn over if they are forced to turn it over.
If there's an attorney out there who would like to expand on this, correct me or disagree I welcome the input.
