A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

lol, ok. i mean, even if this is true (which, eh, maybe it is), I'm not really sure it's worth what they're asking for it. if this threat is genuine, and they follow through, it will certainly be publically embarrassing for spez at a really bad time. but there's zero chance he's going to give in to their demands.
i don't expect the data dump would contain anything particularly juicy, or these demands would have been made months ago. it's just that it would be embarrassing for reddit (and spez) if it happened, particularly right now.
