Reddit doesn't snitch on "piracy" commenters
Filmmakers want a California federal court to compel Reddit to disclose the identities of several 'pirating' users.
A group of filmmakers wants Reddit to disclose the identities of several users who made piracy-related comments. Reddit objects, citing its users' right to anonymous speech.
I think this touches on a bigger picture... It would only take Reddit handing over that data to change what it meant to have a piacy community on the internet. I'm not sure if people would be willing to trust again if that happened...
I'm glad we moved to Lemmy, and let's make it work 🏴☠️
I got my GDPR request and Reddit keeps all your IP logs from when you registered. Or maybe my account isn't old enough. Wonder how far it goes back for like years old accounts.
too bad reddit is dead
Misleading title.
Reddit only handed over the details of one user
Reddit pointed out that the anonymous speech rights of its users shouldn’t be violated, as long as the filmmakers have other ways to obtain the information.
Gonna change when they throw money at spaz.
r/Piracy will either not be around in a few years or it will barely be what it is now and the Reddit users will pat their corporate champions on the back.
They are trying to make money. To be profitable they can't pay too much.
