The US government wants Reddit to snitch on one of its users through a grand jury
The US government, through Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has issued a grand jury subpoena to Reddit, demanding the identification of a user who allegedly criticized the agency. Reddit's attorneys argue that user anonymity and free speech are protected under the First Amendment, calling the subpoena an "escalation." This incident follows a pattern of government agencies requesting user data from various online platforms.
