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.
Isn’t Reddit owned by China? WTF is Trump going to do?

Reddit is owned by Vanguard, Blackrock, JP Morgan, etc

You’d really think they could afford hiring some moderators.
Reddit is headquartered in San Francisco
