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

Pretty much applies to any even vaguely large company.
No doubt
All US tech should be questioned.
These are the companies sharing information that we KNOW of.
This is the definition of economic fascism. They aren't being squeezed by the government, they have lucrative contacts for openly sharing this info. The businesses and the us government are becoming one.
The businesses and the us government are becoming one.
They have been one for a long time.

It's been happening for a long time however now it's all out in the open.
libs just didn't want to see it, like they didn't want to see what ICE did.
Every US based company is pretty much legally obliged to hand over everything, even if they collect data outside of US.
This is nothing new. New is, that this data is now getting abused at large scale.
Absolutely.
EVERY. U.S. COMPANY.
It used to be that courts would slow it down. But the Trump administration is showing that they don't care about the law. How they have been weaponizing ICE, it's pretty clear cut that they will use or abuse any tool to get their way.
Discord is just a start.
All the companies relying on Amazon and AWS will be compromised too. Which includes all the open-source software storing their backups on S3.
Who didn't see this coming, after all the major players of the US digital industry were invited to the dinner with Trump? Honestly :D
It wasn't that they were invited, it's that they showed up. I can understand a CEO not going full on resistance mode, but how hard would it be for them to just say "sorry but I'm going to be in Tokyo (or wherever) that day so I can't make it to your dinner"?
It would be fairly easy for them to be neutral, which is what I'd expect from a CEO. But nope, they're all on board the Trump train.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
All those who are surprised, raise your hands.
*crickets*
I’m definitely on that list
You and me both.
There must be so many people on it. If we all keep speaking our minds about ICE and their fascist leaders maybe we can keep bloating out that list.
I got permenantly reddit banned for "inciting violence" because of anti Ice comments.
I am pretty sure I am on that list.pS, fuck Ice, fuck Trumo, fuck the Nazi GOP.
Well, if you are against ICE and not in the USA, you are not loosing anything for being in the list.
I am unfortunately in the USA.
Good luck in life. And shall God protect you.
This article is what made me finally delete my Google account. Was a mission migrating all my other accounts that I’d used the gmail address for, but worth it.
GRAFAM users: well, I'm not concerned, so it's alright 🤷
Or alternatively "But where else can I go???😭"
What’s GRAFAM?
Google Reddit Amazon Facebook Apple Microsoft I just added the R to GAFAM which is the more common acronym.
#TIL. Thanks.
