That moderators can edit posts on Reddit throws into question the validity of state actors using it as evidence to arrest people but doesn't make it any more dangerous than it was from the start.
- ddingus 8y agoModerators cannot edit posts. An admin can, and when done with the official tool, the edit is marked, known. What bothered people was spez editing the actual database, no timestamp, etc...
- krapp 8y agoI would assume state actors would need something more than a screenshot of a Reddit post to make a case either way.
- zhengyi13 8y agoKeep in mind that now two states have proposed laws that would require inspection of the social media accounts of any potential gun purchaser. There's zero specification in either law around oversight into or appeal of any decision to disallow a gun purchase on the basis of what the reviewer finds.
- krapp 8y agoFair enough, but have they passed and survived judicial challenges, though? A proposed law isn't a law, after all. Anyone can propose anything.
