    First of all…

    Reddit reports that January to June 2025 marked the highest volume of requests the company has ever received in a single reporting period. Sixty-six percent of the 1,179 requests came from agencies in the U.S., including 423 subpoenas and 27 court orders. Reddit disclosed user data in 82 percent of those cases.

    And so fuck Reddit, and why would Reddit have anyone’s name and address or what makes the feds think they do? At most they could have an email address and an ip address, which should then require further subpoenas to an ISP.

    But if you read the whole article, this is pretty scary stuff the feds are doing by using this grand jury approach since their regular requests are being shut down by other judges.
