Reddit community banned as user spat with Musk intensifies
Reddit community banned as user spat with Musk intensifies
Reddit has temporarily banned one of its communities - and removed another - after X owner Elon Musk claimed comments made by the site's users about his employees were breaking the law.
On Monday, a prosecutor appointed by Trump said the FBI was investigating the "targeting" of Doge staff. "Our initial review of the evidence presented to us indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting Doge employees," said United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Edward Martin.
In a letter to Musk he posted on X, Mr Martin said he would "not tolerate threats against Doge workers or law-breaking by the disgruntled".
"Any threats, confrontations, or other actions in any way that impact their work may break numerous laws," he wrote. "We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people."
