Reddit is purging Nazi, white supremacist, and other hate-based groups from its site as part of a new policy change announced Wednesday that targets and bans certain violent material.

I am a bit torn on this. I do not like the kind of stuff that they are getting rid of, and I ignore most of it, but I also don't like the censorship aspect of it.

Discuss.

Probably just people looking for something to be outraged about ventured into those areas and threw up a fuss about it.

Imagine morons lime Matt26z spewing their non sense in every sub on reddit and then you can guess why this was done. I run a niche sub with over 100k subscribers there and even on a sub with absolutely nothing to do with politics there is always some moron like matt26z being a jack ass.

I can only imagine the mess r/politics is to mod.

It's the niche groups they are banning. Mostly black crime.

Can't have that much TNB concentrated in one spot.

I'm not from the USA but from what I understand the first amendment refers more to the government not suppressing free speech. It doesn't mean that a private business has to publish anything and everything that someone has to say. Imagine if every asshole was allowed to post whatever they want on this board. Oh, wait...

This is correct.

Access to unregulated speech wasn't a problem online until left wing groups discovered round about ways of ending it (contacting advertisers, hosts, calling social site owners racist, etc). The left wing simply does not want this speech to exist, anywhere.

Yeah...i get what you are saying, but that is kind of how Reddit built it's site up.

if they are too heavy handed with the moderating...i am guessing it will open the doors for competition

I guess that's why this board has a zero moderation policy.

It's hard for newcomers to usurp established sites like Reddit, especially on the basis of 'less moderation'. Yes, 'hate speech' offenders would flock to any new rival but then it would be harder to appeal to the general demographic and also a sitting duck for left-wing campaigns.

Gab.ai was launched a while back as a 'free speech' alternative to Twitter and Google banned it from the Android playstore because it allegedly broke their 'hateful content' guidelines.

Also, look at the new laws coming into effect in Germany and soon the UK. Now social media giants have to employ entire dedicated teams of staff to spot and remove 'hateful content' within 24 hours or be hit with multi-million dollar fines every day. Good luck to any small pro-free speech startup trying to break into the market with that legal environment to contend with.

CoolMikey · 10-26-2017, 04:50 AM

It's funny how suggesting killing of bankers/trump/trump supporters/republicans/etc is not "hate speech." I see comments like that all the time, and all the peaceful and tolerant left-leaning idiots cheer the poster who posted those comments on.

And at the same time any discussions involving immigration policy or crime in poor communities are automatically labeled "hate speech" if the comment posted doesn't follow the left-wing agenda to a tee.

This is the reason our government hides behind corporate entities to bypass the Constitution and strip away the rights of the people.

You dont actually bother to hide your agenda anymore do you ?

Mr Trump must be really happy to have you on his band of fine people.

Why dont you tell the nice people what your acronym means ?

Not the government? what does free speech law have to do with a privately owned site?

No, sorry both examples you gave are considered hate and violent speech. It is pretty childish to turn this into a partisan issue though.

It is only PC to concentrate on hate speech from Christians and right.

At least you finally admit christians and the right are nazis.

BTW, I have a lock of hair that belonged to jesus that I will sell you for $1000.

Matt 26z · 10-26-2017, 12:36 PM

To put this into perspective, here is a typical Reddit snowflake post...

https://www.reddit.com/r/racism/comm...edibly_racist/

They call out a medical textbook as racist for describing how patients from various backgrounds may deal with pain.

da fuck are you talking about?

Even libby buzzfeed have them separate:

Quote:

alt-right and Nazism

I merely responded to muslim question saying that it is not PC to do anything anti muslim like it is PC to do something anti Christian.
And as well it is not PC to talk against hate groups from left.

You libbies sure love twisting/inventing stuff.

Good thing there is nowhere else for them to go.

Reddit is trying to get more advertisers. Besides pornhub. They are just bowing to those pressures. Easy to understand.

You're right.

Left leaning and right leaning corporations do this and it should be illegal.

You and I agree on a lot more things than the few things we disagree on.
