Reddit Asks for ID

Text on the meme

Don't ever use Reddit again. Can we see some ID please? To continue, log in to your Reddit account or use your developer token Log in Is this rolled out for everyone? Looks like its everybody connecting via Tor or VPNs, i.e. at-risk populations that need privacy.

What it means

Edward Snowden posts a warning about Reddit, followed by a Reddit login screen demanding identification or a developer token. The joke is that Reddit’s privacy and identity verification requirements may drive privacy-conscious users away, especially those using Tor or VPNs.
