Of course not, reddit is a think tank factory. Probably half of the mods are CIA appointed.

Is this sarcasm?

Only mistake was thinking here is different

almost, they may well be subponaed but nothing much will come off it... they'll get 90% redacted out pages or something like that.. because of security clearance bullshit and safety of the 'land' concerns

.. how "wrong" are you imagining things might go? Why would contempt of court charges be issued? What is the process by which you arrived at this idea?

>What is the process by which you arrived at this idea?

Just a guess, but maybe "ignorance?"

>If things go wrong and contempt of court charges need to be issued, will Reddit be subpoenaed for the mods identities?

How, exactly, might things "go wrong" for folks contributing to an amicus curiae brief[0]?

While amicus briefs are common, they're just arguments for or against a particular issue in a particular case. They aren't testimony, they aren't sworn affadavits and they have no legal weight.

It's essentially writing an OpEd or posting a blog post, except it's filed with the court. No one is "testifying" (in fact, appeals don't have witnesses or evidence or anything of the sort, just a review of the proceedings of the trial court, plus any arguments the lawyers want to make) in an amicus brief and no one is held to any particular standard.

And so I ask again, what, exactly, could "go wrong" here?

The mods fill the brief with a diatribe involving unspeakable things.

>The mods fill the brief with a diatribe involving unspeakable things.

So what? Even if they did, how is there any legal liability there? It's just a document stating a position on a topic of interest to a court case.

I'd note that the Reddit moderators aren't submitting the brief, rather it's the EFF[0].

I'm sorry, but you're talking out of your ass and it smells that way too (yuck). And more's the pity.
