I am no fan of reddit but in this case Reddit appears to have championed this users anonymity going so far as to actively draw the ire of the administration.
- Reddit refused to comply with the initial administrative subpoena
- the Federal government came back with this grand jury subpoena and warned Reddit not to disclose the existence of the subpoena or they’d consider it interference in federal law enforcement
- Reddit complied with this new legally binding subpoena, but did not comply with the demand to keep it a secret. In the contrary, they immediately alerted the user of the subpoena which allowed him time to immediately lawyer up.
You’re not wrong that you’re not safe posting on Reddit, but if this case is any indication you’re not any less safe posting in Reddit than any other site, including Lemmy.
From what I’ve been hearing that hasn’t been working anymore.
Can you do that for a banned account?
If you wait long enough they’ll unban your account. I lost my 10 year old account a few months before the API debacle over referencing piracy in /r/movies and then inadvertently commenting there on an alt account, and just discovered that it was completely restored a few months ago.
Nope
The most absurd part of this is their inability to dox someone for a month. Give a handful of bored nerds any motivation and they’d have it figured out in a day or two.
Be grateful they are incompetent.
ah pedonald trying to scare people. fuck him with a retractable baton.
That might bring him pleasure.
Dip him in acid.
Heh, which kind?
All of them
That calcium-loving one that eats your bones if you touch it?
I think you’re referring to hydrofluoric acid
I kinda wanna see the one that causes sensory blending and hallucinations.
And just fuck with him for…well how ever many days a dose like that would take to wear off.
They’ve had difficulty convincing grand juries to indict in other sketchy cases. I have to wonder what super secret group of totally-not-ICE-officials this was approved by.
It hasn’t been approved yet - the title is misleading. The US has requested Reddit appear for a grand jury hearing by April 14.
Grand juries are usually formalities with a very low bar. There’s a phrase that you can indict a ham sandwich. Not getting a “true bill” is honestly an embarrassment that many prosecutors never see in their entire career.
I could have seen this get blocked here, but there are still many steps ahead, each will get harder to move forward with.
Fun fact: I just wrapped up a case as a juror (not a grand juror) this morning. We rendered a verdict of not guilty because there was plenty of reasonable doubt to be had.
Just pull the Faux Nooz defense. No sane person would take me seriously.
OR follow your orange leader’s example of “can’t you take a joke?”
