It appears that all the lawyers have been sacked by Spez too - PullPush threatened legal action from Reddit over API access

So he's going full Musk?
Please start yanking random wires in the server room.
How tf is twit still not perma404 yet?
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.
If the lawyer says not to do something and is ignored the lawyer is likely to quit.
Lawyer: "Do not send my client to prison."
Judge: "No."
Lawyer: "Fuck! I quit."
TIL defense lawyers work for judges, not the client. 🙄
Well if they lose all the time, they probably will quit too.
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?
A legal team would have stepped in several times by now.
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.
Aha I can follow now.
Love the terminating comma:
Thanks,
