The disconnect between the “lawful” reality of the protest and the agency’s internal panic is most visible in a “BOLO” (Be On The Look Out) alert included in the appendix. Despite the bulletin’s own admission that there is “no specific reporting of planned violence,” the Rio Grande Valley Sector Operations Center issued the following warning to its agents: “It is recommended that all agents wear their ballistic armor, utilize long arms, and if possible, work in groups.”
National security brain has so infected the immigration authorities that they now treat a four-sentence Reddit post about “spreading awareness” as though it were the secret messages of al Qaeda. It is a system designed to find threats everywhere, even if it has to look for them in a subreddit about Stephen King novels.

I see nothing in the original post about them reading PMs, but correct me if I’m wrong.
Admins own the server and they definitely can if they want to.
That would be Reddit admins just passing info over to the DHS, not the DHS hacking Reddit itself and gaining access. I thought we were discussing the latter, but I may be wrong.
No, it doesn’t but backdoor access includes direct messages and registration information.
