    Reddit changing up it's policies on Hate and Violent Content

    https://www.buzzfeed.com/briannasack...vng#.xj3oQgLDO

    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.
              In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                          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.

                                              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.

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.

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...
