[PSA/Article] Reddit in bed with The Feds. Giving up doxxing info on users, including /gwern. And shinyFlakes bust info being used to dox former Evo members.

So i saw this on r/worldnews: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/30x0st/feds_demand_reddit_identify_users_of_a_darkweb/ Now they're demanding that Reddit gives up redactors from OUR subreddit community. AND that /u/gwern cooperates and helps to dox users like /u/NSWGreat and /u/deep_throat. Whom he he doesn't even know! http://www.wired.com/2015/03/dhs-reddit-dark-web-drug-forum/?mbid=social_fb

And that the Shiny-Flakes bust from EU is confirmed and they may have kept usernames and drops unenecrypted, which is now in the hands of EU-LE. http://www.wired.com/2015/03/evolution-shiny-flakes-bust-heroin-cocaine-silk-road/

Id bet my life that they end up finding NSWgreat, but leave gwern and the rest of us the fuck alone!!!

This is already being discussed in the sticky on the front page. How is Reddit in bed with the Feds? They're a US company, therefore they have to follow and abide by US law.

So reddit is abiding by the law. Court order is a court order. Millions at risk

My guess is the will offer gwern a job.
