Does it give far-left users' data to LE as well?
- iron0013 6y agoPresumably only if they make violent and terroristic threats like the right-wing subjects of the article did. The valence of their political beliefs is irrelevant, making the headline highly misleading.

- iron0013 6y agoWhat they actually do is give data to law enforcement when users make violent and terroristic threats, which is what the right-wing users described in the article did. I know this because I read the article. Reading the article is usually a great way to find out what the article says, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in knowing what they’re talking about before they open their mouth to opine.
