Popehat is a law-oriented blog. According to its tagline, Popehat is a "group complaint about law, liberty, and leisure". Its primary blogger, American attorney Ken White, writes about law, scams, and freedom of expression on the Internet. A Twitter account under the same name was later established, and has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers. Popehat was established in 2004. After having a low profile for many years, the blog came to widespread attention in 2012 when it documented The Oatmeal and FunnyJunk legal dispute involving Charles Carreon. It has also covered swatting, IsAnybodyDown?, Prenda Law, scam letters, and SLAPP issues. The blog sometimes helps arrange pro bono counsel for affected bloggers (the "Popehat Signal") including PZ Myers. More information...
