>This is incredibly disturbing Meh. You're blowing this out of proportion. >in light of the fact Reddit's CEO was once caught secretly editing Again, you're making this seem more nefarious than it actually was. He did it because he thought it would be appreciated (obviously he was wrong). In the end, it was a dumb and immature move from a young, rookie CEO ... on a social network site (i.e. not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things) I don't really see this action by Reddit to be newsworthy at all. There are a lot of subreddits that straddle the line of being banned. The_Donald is certainly one of those communities.

> He did it because he thought it would be appreciated (obviously he was wrong). It's a bit beyond "I thought this would be funny, honest mistake, sorry", isn't it? How often has he (and others) done that without being caught doing so? And of course, once you're caught red handed in the cookie jar, is anything you say about acting alone and that not being SOP true, or is it just damage control? Regarding him being a "young, rookie CEO", he's been the CEO of reddit for years previously and was the CTO of Hipmunk. It's not like he found himself in a role with a lot of power and overstepped the line a bit in his first week. I don't think it's a state affair, but it's not "I was tired and emotional and I kind of clicked on the wrong button" either.

You touch upon something that I think we really need to contend with, there's all this pearl-clutching as if the people being who are being affected by this wouldn't a) censor /intimidate into silence other people if they (they actively try) and b) make completely disingenuous arguments all the time.
