havent read the article but how exactly are they going to collect that information if even email is not a requirement on reddit

Get your IP from reddit, then get your ISP to reveal your real name and address based on which IP you were assigned on that date and time.

How would you make an account to post/comment without an email?

You used to not need one at signup.

If you leave the email part empty it will still let you sign up
