Cool, cool cool cool. Nothing dystopian about that at all.

Probably the Pushshift archive which is publicly downloadable.

The real enemy inside is the government, not the people.

People need to keep their government under more surveillance than the government does its people.

That’s not Palantir doing it. If you put the data in a MariaDB, you can access it, too. Is not MariaDB the culprit, or the one distributing the data?

What I find more concerning is, how did they get his reddit username?

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The obvious strong link is reddit+email. Someone could have got into his personal, probably old mailbox, where original registration letters (with r/handle) and notifications still are. I find it more probable, but since government is under MAGA, they could've used some way to ask Huffman if some account matches the mail address.

This is why I resisted attaching emails to reddit accounts for years. Recently subs have started soft banning users without registered emails though, so I started just using throwaways.
