Klein has attempted to subpoena Discord and Reddit for information that would reveal the identity of moderators of a subreddit critical of him. The moderators' lawyers fear their clients will be physically attacked if the subpoenas go through.

    Demins is the one who after being accused of organizing the campaing, deflected the blame onto the subreddit mods and agreed to let the lawsuit include them.

      She didn’t do that either.

        Legal mindset goes through the court documents in this video explaining how Denims did in fact agree to h3’s request to obtain the mods’ personal identifying information so that they can go after them instead of her.

          Ah yes the YouTube lawyer is an expert here.

          Oh look here’s him at providing why it’s not actually a case of copyright infringement.

      She didn’t do that, Ethan just wanted a scapegoat.

        I am not saying she did it. She was accused of doing it, and after that during an early stage in the lawsuit process, she agreed with h3 lawyers to request reddit to disclose information in order to subpoena the reddit mods that did it. Which is what OPs article states Reddit lawyers have pushed back against.
