I'm merely attempting to correct the author's libelous statement about reddit. Reddit has never hosted any stolen photos, period. Imgur revealed earlier this year that they have similar image detection built into their back end. Despite the ease with which they could use this to automatically sweep 99.9% of the Jennifer Lawrence photos off of their site the instant they're uploaded and shadowban the uploaders, and despite the fact that every one of their 12+ employees knew about this leak the instant it happened and also knew that their own site would probably be one of the two most actively used to spread the images around the world, half of the Jennifer Lawrence albums I checked there still have all images intact. One album has over 30,000 views and has existed for two days. Why haven't they activated their similar image detection algorithm in this case? At best, this is neglect bordering on malice. The damage Imgur does by actually hosting these stolen images and dragging their feet for as long as possible when responding to DMCA takedown requests has nothing whatsoever to do with a text-only discussion thread on reddit. The author should correct this accusation and lay the blame where it belongs.
