>That's not how the system we were discussing works. I'm talking more generically. >The platform is never asked to report anything at all. I thought platforms routinely work with the government to report potentially illegal content. >Or are you describing an entirely different scenario, in which a site like Reddit voluntarily reports on its users (selectively or not)? Discussing the existing system and what the logic being used in this context means when applied elsewhere. >Any motivated individual can check your social media accounts and report anything they see to the police if it's illegal or suspicious. And they can choose to do this as selectively as they want. Generally other individuals don't have access to things like IP addresses. And while those don't correlate to a person, it doesn't stop the government from treating it like it does and forcing you to fight it out in court.
