Reddit argues handing over the information will create a chill among other users, explaining in its court filings that “anonymity is not just a user preference but a defining feature of Reddit’s business model and identity.”
Bullshit. They have no problem banning users for specific keywords, like “Luigi”, and anyone who upvotes those posts/comments. They just want to use the platform as their own propaganda machine, instead of the states propaganda machine.

Controlling that kind of speech on the platform is bad, unmasking user identities at the request of the government is worse
EU law requires them to moderate that sort of thing. Bit ironic to complain about that on an EU instance.
I’m gonna need an EU law citation there.
Because banning people for upvoting the word Luigi isn’t EU law.
