Reddit argues handing over the information will create a chill among other users, explaining in its court filings that “anonymity is not just a user preference but a defining feature of Reddit’s business model and identity.”
Bullshit. They have no problem banning users for specific keywords, like “Luigi”, and anyone who upvotes those posts/comments. They just want to use the platform as their own propaganda machine, instead of the states propaganda machine.
Controlling that kind of speech on the platform is bad, unmasking user identities at the request of the government is worse
EU law requires them to moderate that sort of thing. Bit ironic to complain about that on an EU instance.
I’m gonna need an EU law citation there.
Because banning people for upvoting the word Luigi isn’t EU law.
I doubt that happens. What certainly happens is that they remove and ban more than a judge would order. That’s necessary to avoid liability.

This website is filled with people who were banned for just that. Check out /c/Reddit ( pretty sure it’s on lemmy.world)
So yea, it’s happening, and is exactly what you were replying to. Calling that moderation is a pretty far stretch.
As far as I know, all these posts could come from an LLM via a botnet. The article does not support your claim. I don’t know what you are trying to argue here.
I have given you factual information. I obliged your request for a source. You are welcome.
Okay, still a non sequiter then, because that law has nothing to do with what you responded. Which was the point of getting that law, because no where does it call the actions you replied to moderation.
And for all I know your a Russian troll so have fun with that.
Use a proxy/VPN/tor to use any site you offer any opinion.
I have said this I don’t know how many times in the past, but it is now a necessity.
From a post 5 months ago asking why online privacy is important:
Just because you feel you may have nothing to hide now, doesnt mean that information could be very worth hiding in the future.
Governments change.
Laws change.
Dictators, autocrats, police states, abhors dissent. Free thought and peace of mind is what you’re protecting.
is this some freeze peach bullshit i’m to european to understand?
hate speech, difamation, etc should be prosecuted. period.
