DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don't come from judges.

Reddit, Meta, and Google voluntarily “complied with some of the requests” for identifying details of users critical of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent as part of a recent wave of administrative subpoenas the Department of Homeland Security has been distributing to Big Tech the past few months, according to an anonymously sourced New York Times report.

Reddit, Meta, and Google are scumbags and not to be trusted.

Pretty much applies to any even vaguely large company.

All US tech should be questioned.

These are the companies sharing information that we KNOW of.
