@arstechnica that's funny. I wonder how they're going to differentiate between EU citizens that are protected by GDPR. just because they posted in the US doesn't mean they're exempt from EU protections.
also, if reddit even attempts to share that information and EU courts find out both reddit and the studios will be in the hottest pot of water they've ever been in.
@arstechnica If they're that worried about their content being stolen they can probably start with the folks at 3180 18th Street San Francisco, California, 94110.
@arstechnica reddit has become a hell hole of Russian and Chinese trolls.
@arstechnica I would not count on Reddit holding out very long on actually protecting its users. Obviously this is just for show and if it comes down to it they'll hand over the information without fuss if the show becomes too inconvenient.
@arstechnica What would discussing piracy prove, anyway? Nothing. And 99% of people discussing piracy on Reddit are going to live at a data center. I think this is all they actually hoped to accomplish - try to scare people who are talking about piracy. They don't and won't have the resources to take that information and figure out if anyone is breaking a law.
