While you're completely correct, and this case is exactly that, the end result is the same isn't it?
- germanier 11y agoThey can hardly argue legal compliance as a reason, when they go beyond what's legally required of them.
- kuschku 11y agoNot really, because reddit had a choice not to censor itself. The result would have been that /r/watchpeopledie would be not findable in German Google with safe search on, and that it would be blocked in all schools, and if you install a family blocker software at home.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoReddit really has a really hard to follow rule as to what content is or isn't allowed.
- germanier 11y agoThe point here is that the subreddit works fine almost everywhere in the world. Just if you try accessing it with a German IP Reddit voluntarily decided not to return content.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoI was thinking more along the lines of what subreddits they still allow and what subreddits have been banned (or at least 'encouraged' to go private).
- germanier 11y agoI'm not sure but I thought that Google doesn't show websites listed in the BPJM-Modul at all in Germany, even with safe search off. Does anyone know whether this is documented somewhere?
- kuschku 11y agoI’m not sure either, but I know that legally, they can show that stuff.
