I’m pleased — at risk of jinxing it — that we are seeing gradual dissipation of the techlash perspective that “big tech” companies are inherently evil rather than capitalist & complicated; this will take a decade or so, but until then:

Reddit disclosed this week that it resisted handing over personally identifiable information to U.S. prosecutors about users who were critical of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

The company said it pushed back on four grand jury subpoenas “involving content related to ICE actions because the users appeared to be engaged in protected activity under the First Amendment,” which shields against government attempts to inhibit free speech and expression.
