DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don't come from judges.

Reddit, Meta, and Google voluntarily “complied with some of the requests” for identifying details of users critical of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent as part of a recent wave of administrative subpoenas the Department of Homeland Security has been distributing to Big Tech the past few months, according to an anonymously sourced New York Times report.

Reddit, Meta, and Google are scumbags and not to be trusted.

    This is the definition of economic fascism. They aren't being squeezed by the government, they have lucrative contacts for openly sharing this info. The businesses and the us government are becoming one.

    Who didn't see this coming, after all the major players of the US digital industry were invited to the dinner with Trump? Honestly :D

    It wasn't that they were invited, it's that they showed up. I can understand a CEO not going full on resistance mode, but how hard would it be for them to just say "sorry but I'm going to be in Tokyo (or wherever) that day so I can't make it to your dinner"?

    It would be fairly easy for them to be neutral, which is what I'd expect from a CEO. But nope, they're all on board the Trump train.

    This article is what made me finally delete my Google account. Was a mission migrating all my other accounts that I’d used the gmail address for, but worth it.

    GRAFAM users: well, I'm not concerned, so it's alright 🤷

    Or alternatively "But where else can I go???😭"
