    Born with free speech and no one gets to change that deal.

    Don’t interfere with my rights. Just don’t.

    Fuck ICE and the little dick Donald Trump. Arrest everyone with proven ties to epstine, and destroy the checkbooks of every single billionaire by taxing them.

    Signed pretty much EVERY FUCKING MENTALLY SANE AMERICAN.

    "Reportedly.’

    That headline may be true. Or maybe it was released by ‘ICE-helpers’ trying to get people to stop all of the well-deserved harsh criticism. By now that’s hundreds of millions of names to go through. Maybe that will help them burn through their remaining funds faster.

      “Reportedly”, as in, according to someone else’s report. In this case, that’d be Sheera Frenkel and Mike Isaac at The New York Times ( archive ).

      Unless your quibble is with their sources, which are kept anonymous:

      In recent months, Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the Department of Homeland Security, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

      It’s “administrative warrants” so it’s not even a court officer. It’s the police calling something a warrant that is a request by law enforcement to get the information. No judges, no courts are involved as I understand it.

      This way though it sounds like they had to comply. Reddit did mostly comply by the way.

    Read about this today and decided Reddit can fuck itself, after being told about Lemmy from a Reddit user. Fuck the oligarchy.

      Reddit was already bad enough before they went public. Going public makes a company so much less trustworthy, and so much more beholden to government and other big business over their own protection of their users and products to grow their platform.

      Partially it happens at the moment when a company’s growth is rather saturated and they decide to maximize revenue, the entire corporate internet reached that point in the last 5 years really, the enshitification.

      I would love journalists to rake discord over the coals for this and have them explain exactly how they think that this mentality is acceptable in the current political climate. Of course they won’t because journalism is dead these days.
