A group of filmmakers wants Reddit to disclose the identities of several users who made piracy-related comments. Reddit objects, citing its users' right to anonymous speech.

I'd be surprised if they did it. Where I work we get a lot of subject access requests and we will generally try and get out of it if we can as it's an annoying thing to have to do. Lots of people know this and put in requests just to piss us off (which I find amusing).

I have submitted a gdpr request myself (UK based so it applies) but not heard back yet. Think they have 28 days though so should get it soon.

If they do reject it I guess I just VPN to a Europe location and request it. Since reddit doesn't have you select a country for your profile I'm not sure how else they can deny the request except purely by IP address geolocation.
