So he's going full Musk?
- Please start yanking random wires in the server room.
  
  How tf is twit still not perma404 yet?

I can imagine the level of interaction.
Hufman: do this illegal thing for me
Lawyers: no
Huffmen: you're fired
It makes sense. Reddit will be spending a lot on legal fees. It makes no sense to be working for them in a salaried position.
- If the lawyer says not to do something and is ignored the lawyer is likely to quit.
  
  Lawyer: "Do not send my client to prison."
  Judge: "No."
  Lawyer: "Fuck! I quit."

They don't answer because nothing will be happening obviously.
I want them to be sued

~~I'm not too informed on the situation; on which legal grounds could PushShift sue Reddit?~~
EDIT: my bad, I misread it. Another detail: this is being signed by the "admin team" instead of "legal department". Does Reddit still have a legal department at all?
- A legal team would have stepped in several times by now.

I do not understand what's going on here. Would very appreciate if someone would take the time to fill it in?
- Reddit bans a reddit account under grounds that it's being used to pull data for some other site. The ban notice includes something pretending to be a Cease and Desist.
  The account owner responds by email (because ban) saying the account is operated by an intern and a C&D would need to be sent to the site owner.
  Reddit doesn't respond after a full week. Poster shows the back and forth with some roflcopter about no response must = no legal team.
  
  Aha I can follow now.
  Love the terminating comma:
  Thanks,
