A recent subpoena request shows that film companies are trying to obtain information on a Redditor's piracy habits.

I didn’t know reddit gave out the personal details of their users, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

    Lemmy is not storing anything for no reason tho, there’s no point in that without advertising. The only data they could hand over would be public anyway.

      What?

      Lemmy instances can log IPs and any other info they want all day long, there is nothing stopping them. In some jurisdictions they may even be required to.

        Of course they can but what would be the point of that? It would just cost storage space.
