Freedom is a great thing. I agree with the stance against the two bills mentioned in the article.
However, I wish the Reddit co-founder was also against Internet mob justice. It's great for the site because it brings clicks and readers..but not good for our society or the people it targets.
- alexis 12y agoWhat evidence makes you say that I'm not against mob justice? I trust you saw this? http://www.redditblog.com/2013/04/reflections-on-recent-boston-crisis.html http://www.redditblog.com/2013/04/reflections-on-recent-bost...
- actionscripted 12y agoI've been a Redditor for 8 years and I have never seen any of the current or former staff condone or encourage Internet mob justice. My observation has been that they're pretty hands-off even when things get out of control and they often drop into a thread or put up a blog response that almost chides the community for their overall actions. Perhaps their (mostly) hands-off approach is what makes you think they're not against Internet mob justice? Any admin moderation leads to a Streisand effect giving the problem more visibility and it is very much a problem with the community at times.
