Just pull the Faux Nooz defense. No sane person would take me seriously. OR follow your orange leader’s example of “can’t you take a joke?”

This is a reminder to everyone. If you or someone you know is still on Reddit. Use an extension to bulk deleted everything before deleting the account. You’re friends and family are not safe posting on reddit.

They can’t fucking WAIT until this ID verification goes through. Literally frothing at the mouth for it.

I heard the heavier ones love it when you call them ICEburgs

They’ve had difficulty convincing grand juries to indict in other sketchy cases. I have to wonder what super secret group of totally-not-ICE-officials this was approved by.

So, the rule is very old already, actually: You can’t criticize ICE on Reddit if you’re an American citizen, because of this. And you can’t criticize ICE, Israel, Trump and etc. on Reddit even if you’re are not the USA citizen - because of bans on platform.

i heard its a “secret grand jury” whatever that means, probably chosen only jurors that would vote in thier favors, aka literally choosing biased jurors. since reddit is half or more as bots, it will be funny if they only found its a bot from another country. i have a hunch that reddit does not reveal thier bot activities, or how they are allowing them.

I remember when reddit first got popular and the demise of Digg I feel like we’re watching the demise or reddit now The place is nothing but bots, they allow loser power tripping mods to ban you willy nilly with basically no appeal process. And now they’re gonna give you up to the govt I’m sure shareholders are super stoked right now

Does Reddit even know who they are? Sure they could hand over my IP address but even without a VPN my IP says I’m hundreds of miles away from my real location so that wouldn’t help them.

Good god the title is very misleading. The grand jury hearing isn't until April 14. It's still chilling that the administration will go to these lengths to apparently silence criticism, but I'm not convinced there is more to this story. Although the reddit user in question is enlisting a civil liberties group to represent him, I'm thinking he/she may not be a terrorist mastermind who is a danger to the American people.

OP's headline does not match the article linked in any way. I don't know if the site changed the article or what, but the Grand Jury has **not** ordered Reddit to turn over any data. >a subpoena issued by federal prosecutors to the management of Reddit, representatives of the site have been ordered to appear before a grand jury in Washington D.C., with an April 14 deadline set in an attempt to compel Reddit to volunteer personal data and the identity of a user who had the temerity to lightly criticize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on the platform. Essentially, they have ordered Reddit to send representatives to be badgered into **volunteering** the user's information.

@einlander@lemmy.world 2026-04-11 02:34
Actual title: A Secret Grand Jury Is Seeking the Identity of a Reddit User Who Criticized ICE > It's completely unclear what illegal thing the user is supposed to have done, other than dislike ICE.

The most absurd part of this is their inability to dox someone for a month. Give a handful of bored nerds any motivation and they'd have it figured out in a day or two.
-
@BygoneNeutrino@lemmy.world 2026-04-11 21:30
I find it reassuring that the government is at least acting like they can't identify this user without Reddit's consent. I wonder why this charade is necessary; are they trying to set a legal precedent?

The headline is wrong. No decision has been made yet.

Why not worry about the pedo in the white house instead? Deport him and his entire family to the middle of the atlantic.

A'right, this is disgusting, but it's really not Reddit's fault if a Grand Jury requests evidence. ::: spoiler spoiler ___Especially because the Grand Jury hasn't even requested anything yet, I guess? :::

I really wonder what is preventing people using reddit from using Lemmy, Lemmy is just really good and I really like it, the only problem would be financial issues with big instances that have to store historical data so they can serve it, using more and more space, so that is why is better for everyone to use small instances instead of big ones ;3

I doubt an anonymous ICE critic would be criticizing ICE without using a VPN.

Well you see, most of reddit bots/comments are AI generated. it comes from 2 camps, 1 from propaganda, and the other (reddit targets with thier own AI moderation) the OF/ link /business droppers/ads that are warming up thier accoutns with random comments(in non-propaganda way) or posting it.
