Reddit Refuses To Provide Guidance After A NYT and Gizmodo Report Shows They Are Giving User Data To Homeland Security

Reddit is accused of violating its own policies and potentially breaking the law by voluntarily sharing user data with the Department of Homeland Security, raising significant constitutional and privacy concerns. According to reports, Reddit, along with other tech companies, has been sharing data of users who criticized government agencies, which could violate First and Fourth Amendment rights. Reddit's own policies explicitly prohibit sharing data for surveillance purposes, yet it has been complying with DHS subpoenas. This raises questions about the platform's commitment to privacy and free speech, and highlights the broader issue of tech companies cooperating with government surveillance efforts.
