Will be interesting to see how this plays out. (Have to sign in to read the whole article, but you can see the first couple paragraphs.)
No freedom of speech against government agencies in social network. This is against constitutional rights. The USA government adds more negative karma to itself each day.
If only karma worked like that.
Well, it very well may work like that, we’re still feeling things out
if bad things happened to bad people, Donald Trump wouldn’t have ever gone further than “bit part in Home Alone 2” before ending up in prison. Karma is a comforting fairytale the aggrieved tell themselves to cope with an unjust world.

I just entered a fake email and it let me read the whole thing. If fuck@you.com actually goes anywhere then I apologise to them for the extra spam.
What does reddit know other than an email?
Given how much our online behaviour is mined and catalogued, that might easily be enough
With browser fingerprinting and data brokers we should assume that any website we visit has enough information to lead an interested party to our real identity, even if you hide your IP address. Add to that AI analysis of your writing style, the times when you post, the profile of your interest in various subreddits, and any clues you let slip in your comments. If they want to find you and you didn’t take special steps to disguise yourself, they won’t have much trouble.
Ip address, I’d assume.
Probably fingerprint.
IP address. If you also don’t have a hardened browser, fingerprinting and cross-site cookies can help gather more info to identify you. If they were using the official mobile app, then it has likely access to a lot of identifying information on their phone as well.
But that would require them to admit they collect that stuff. Presumably they could deny that they track it and then it doesn’t matter what the cops ask for?
Did Reddit finally start forcing you to use an email to sign up?
Yeah in recent years

I have The Intercept set to automatically open in Reader mode in iOS/Safari which bypasses the login requirement. I’m sure other OSes/browsers have similar features.
Good call! Thank you very much for sharing it with us. :)
Yes, Firefox, Chrome and Edge have reader mode, too.
Works in chrome too
