Reddit Subpoenaed In Wrongful Death Lawsuit
redletterdave writes "In March, a 51-year-old Reddit user named 'Black Visions' wrote his last post on Reddit. He had been writing frequently about depression and suicide, but in his last post where he also threatened his own suicide, others decided to egg him on even further. That turned out to the be the last straw: Seattle news soon reported Jerry had jumped eight stories from a hotel room in the Double Tree in Tukwila, Washington. Reddit announced on Wednesday that the user's sister Sandy has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against nine Reddit users who egged him on, and Reddit has also been subpoenaed in identifying the information of another three individuals."
For those who don't know, the Men's Rights subreddit is full of people who think that anybody who identifies as a feminist wants to take away rights from men. In general, the men's rights subreddit is all about asking the question, "but what about men?" when an issue primarily pertaining to women (like birth control, rape, etc.) comes up.
There is also a significant contingent who is there for advice when they get divorced, in order to get the most and/or lose the least from the divorce.
It is pretty much a terrible place.
