    I can imagine the level of interaction.

    Hufman: do this illegal thing for me

    Lawyers: no

    Huffmen: you’re fired

    It makes sense. Reddit will be spending a lot on legal fees. It makes no sense to be working for them in a salaried position.

    They don’t answer because nothing will be happening obviously.

    I want them to be sued

    I’m not too informed on the situation; on which legal grounds could PushShift sue Reddit?

    EDIT: my bad, I misread it. Another detail: this is being signed by the “admin team” instead of “legal department”. Does Reddit still have a legal department at all?

    I do not understand what’s going on here. Would very appreciate if someone would take the time to fill it in?

      Reddit bans a reddit account under grounds that it’s being used to pull data for some other site. The ban notice includes something pretending to be a Cease and Desist.

      The account owner responds by email (because ban) saying the account is operated by an intern and a C&D would need to be sent to the site owner.

      Reddit doesn’t respond after a full week. Poster shows the back and forth with some roflcopter about no response must = no legal team.
