Can you speak more about your experiences at Reddit, as much as you can? Was bulk information ever requested and what types of issues did it seem like requests came in for? Is other private information just IP addresses or is it passwords and other records (posting history/times/subscriptions) too?

I never saw a bulk request. Usually they were just asking for email address and IP address/access times. The types of issues were usually people who had "admitted" to a crime, and sometimes threats against the President.

If they did have bulk data requests from the US Federal government, would be even be allowed to say they have?

  Maybe not, but they wouldn't be required to claim "absolutely not".

  Keep in mind I stopped working there five years ago. Bulk requests and gag orders weren't really SOP at that point.
