While we can be pretty confident that Reddit has its own motivations (i.e. self-interest) for fighting these lawsuits, this is still a good news story for pirates.
Food for thought: Lemmy instance admins probably can’t afford $800 an hour corporate attorneys to fight off subpoenas.
And this is why you VPN.
MFW I went to upvote but couldn’t because “error: VPN blocked” 😑
Huh, I exclusively browse Lemmy through a VPN and I’ve never seen that one.
He’s probably talking about reddit They no longer allow vpn’s or any user obfuscators to browse the site
instagram definitely does this, reddit seems fine for me so far
No they don’t. I use the site with a VPN often and it generally works
Are you logged in? I can’t access Reddit with a VPN if I’m not logged in
I can access old.reddit.com with VPN. The new shitty layout will block you but there are browser extensions to automatically redirect. I’m never logged in since I deleted my accounts a few months ago.
Sure, but that’s assuming the logs contain your ip in the first place.
Assume they do until proven otherwise
You can just look at the source code… no need to assume anything. You can’t prove a negative lol
I am so conflicted on which side should I be on :/
A rough translation of a brazilian quote for you: “In a fight between these guys, I cheer for the fight”.
I’m gonna say this all the time now
You don’t have to (and shouldn’t) side with any for profit company
Firms wanted seven years’ worth of IP address logs
I doubt - or hope they don’t - Reddit stores them for that long?
