HBO has obtained a DMCA subpoena to reveal the identity of the user behind the 'Lexi howard’s cat' account on X, which allegedly posted spoilers for the upcoming third season of Euphoria. The account, known for sharing fan content, reportedly published summaries of unpublished episodes, prompting HBO's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), to take action. On March 31, WBD issued a takedown notice to X regarding the posts. Following this, on April 7, WBD filed for a DMCA subpoena in a California federal court to obtain identifying information about the account holder. The subpoena requires X to provide personal details such as names, addresses, and IP addresses. As of now, the account has been taken down, and X Corp. has until April 23 to comply with the subpoena. No objections to the subpoena have been filed in court yet.
