Reddit's move resembles the earlier removal of a subreddit being used as a repository of links to private nude photos of several female celebrities, some of which were taken when they were below 18 years old, hacked from their iCloud accounts. 'So long as media outlets didn't participate in the illegal taking of the information, they are protected in using information in any way they see fit,' says lawyer Jim Ewert, who specializes in First Amendment cases.

Most media outlets defended their coverage, saying that how a major Hollywood studio conducted its business is of public interest and qualifies as free speech. In a letter sent by high-profile lawyer David Boies to outlets including the New York Times, CNN and Re/code, Sony says it 'will have no choice but to hold you responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination' of the Sony information stolen by hackers and released to the public. On Monday, Sony sent cease-and-desist letters to various media outlets threatening to sue them if they do not comply with Sony's demand that they refrain from publishing information collected from the huge trove of internal files leaked online by Guardians of Peace (GOP), the hacking group linked to North Korea claiming responsibility for the attack. However, Reddit says in an email to Business Insider that 'discussions and news stories' about the cyberattack will still be allowed. 'This subredddit has been banned,' the page says. On the subreddit's URL, users will be greeted with an image of a closed door barred with yellow tape. Just a few days ago, the subreddit was used as the central hub for Redditors to discuss the hack that devastated Sony Pictures' computer network and also to gain access to more than 250 gigabytes of leaked internal data, including emails, memos, financial documents and private employee information, via links to the Pastebin pages and file-sharing websites posted by individual users.Д¬iting the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, Sony successfully convinced Reddit to block individual users, including the SonyGOP subreddit's lone moderator, delete posts containing links to Sony's information, and ban the entire sub-reddit altogether. The SonyGOP subreddit, which was moderated by a single user, is no more. Just one day after receiving the film company's takedown request, the social news website has banned an entire subreddit dedicated to sharing the links to the gigabytes of information leaked by hackers onto the Internet. Motherboard confirmed that samples of data made available by the seller вЂњcontained accurate information on T-Mobile customers.Reddit has succumbed to Sony Pictures' demands.

The seller reportedly said that the data included Social Security numbers, phone numbers, names, physical addresses, unique IMEI numbers, and driver's license numbers. The post didnвЂ™t mention T-Mobile, but the seller told the publication that data related to more than 100 million people and that it came from T-Mobile servers. The statement came a day after Motherboard reported that a forum post was advertising a massive trove of data for sale. вЂњWe have been working around the clock to investigate claims being made that T-Mobile data may have been illegally accessed.вЂќ вЂњWe have determined that unauthorized access to some T-Mobile data occurred, however we have not yet determined that there is any personal customer data involved,вЂќ the company said in a statement. T-Mobile said on Monday that hackers breached its internal servers and that company investigators are in the process of determining if the incident involves the theft of sensitive customer data.
