Am I getting some details wrong here?
Reddit hired a person who condoned and supported the glorification of child rape. Then gave this person private and privileged access to moderate discussions among at risk teenagers.
Has there been an investigation into what discussions they may have had with the children that use this site?
Keep in mind that this is being done while these kids are being presented (on reddit) with hard core gore, porn, etc.
Reddit tried to ban people from pointing this out, and it was only after what appears to be a site wide protest that they have removed them from their privileged access administrative team.
Does it actually get worse than this? This seems like a criminal level of negligence, and then a conspiracy to cover it up. Unreal.
- darkwizard42 6y agoI believe Reddit's initial reason for banning was an overstep to prevent harassment of said employee. However even a cursory search engine query would have pointed out very bright red flags that should have immediately led to an internal decision. Of course instead they put in place this ban logic on March 9 and waited till public discourse exploded to take action on March 24...
