They also assassinated the employee that leaked the fact OpenAI violated copyrights.

Send them my way, I love having more reason to criticize the world's largest Ponzi Scheme.

Is this the 'freedom' I keep hearing about that America has and other countries don't?

There's nothing new or unique about the subpoena process. UK, Canada and Australia also allow the compulsory production of documents for legal proceedings.

exactly this...freedom for me, not thee.

Article wants you to think hired goons shows up with baseball bats or something. Issuing subpoenas for legal proceedings is a standard legal process and they're often required to be hand delivered to ensure receipt.

People have raised concern about decreasing transparency at OpenAI and that merits attention. But this article describes a standard legal practice.

Ah yes the old using legal processes to quash critics. Nothing to see here, just standard legal practice.

“It’s a bit scary to know that the most valuable private company in the world has your address and has shown up and has questions for you,”

That's how "service of process" works. "Process server" is an entire career for people who figure out how to deliver legal documents to people personally.

A "solicitors will be shot on site" sign oughta do.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Go ahead and shoot someone delivering a subpoena, see how that goes.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

You are weirdly committed to defending the the giant evil corporation.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Who said anything about shooting someone?

I said the sign oughta do.
