Why? Reddit is fighting the motion.

Any suitably large company or web platform might be subject to a legal request like this. For once, it seems like users and reddit are on the same side here.

Noticed this in a few of the subs I’m still in over there. One took a vote, where they even acknowledged that most voting wanted to continue the blackout in some form (1 week or indef) but decided to reopen instead.
