Overview
- The New York Times reported that Homeland Security sent hundreds of information requests in recent months to Google, Meta, Reddit and Discord.
- Two requests sent to Meta were reviewed by the newspaper, which described efforts to identify users who criticized ICE or shared locations of its agents.
- Requests sought names, email addresses or phone numbers for accounts that were not readily searchable by real name.
- Some companies notified affected users and provided roughly 10–14 days to seek judicial review of the government demands.
- Google said it reviews each request to protect privacy and complies with legal obligations, while Meta, Reddit and Discord declined to comment.
