Reddit is not a "good" company but at least they are doing the right thing here.

Maybe if Reddit isn't saving the IP addresses of their users, film companies wouldn't be able even if they want to retrieve that information.

For America being the land of the free, your legal system seems to immediately bend over, face down, and assume the position as soon as a mega corporation demands something. But a local owner of a single business doesn't matter if their company is wiped out.

Land of the free to exploit whomever you want to if you already have billions. And you’re right. The state of Minnesota just past a law that specifically defines a controller as any business with the data of more than 100,000 people, and a consumer as any individual in a household, and a small business as an entity that does not make 25% of their revenue from data. Guess whose rights of the 3 the law protects.
