Do you know why?
Read the NYT article.
Jimmy Comet says he is going to go to Facebook, Reddit, etc. and ask them to stop the ‘fake news.’
The reason posted is that the sub was giving out ‘personal information.’
These are folks who were in national magazines (James in GQ) who involved themselves in politics (public figures).
No phones numbers or addresses were posted there.
My theory is that Reddit knows it broke the law with “Jail bait” material that stayed on the site until called out by Anderson Cooper on his show. So they agreed to ‘cooperate’ with Obama’s law enforcement rather than be prosecuted.
