the film companies filed a motion to compel Reddit to respond to a subpoena demanding "basic account information including IP address registration and logs from 1/1/2016 to present, name, email address and other account registration information"

who the fuck fills that in on account registration anyways? do they even have a field for your name?

@mrbubblesort @gsa32 no, but they'd have to answer with whatever they do have, which is your email address and IP addresses

Email address isn't required either. I don't know why people sign up with it.

Because reddit makes you think it's needed. It's cheeky you have to skip the email entry or leave it empty with nothing telling you that it's optional.

@Ilandar You get penalized if you don't. In particular, if reddit decides to "lock your account for suspicious activity, please change password to re-enable" you can't do that and your account is just gone

Who cares? Just make a new one.

Are you saying you do not care about internet points? Outrageous!

From what I remember, they only asked for a username and an optional email address.
