Who gives a shit about Reddit? I’m talking in context of the law that is mentioned in the original article


We can talk about that too. In the original article's context you have government regulation using the tiny, mostly irrelevant threat of 'human trafficing' in order to justify imposing their moral standards on people who don't stigmatize sex like all those old religious farts in congress do.

But really it's not even about that. "Think of the children" is and always has been a cover to simply expand federal power.


The person you replied to had mentioned reddit in their comment so it was kind of a natural progression.

They're saying that the scenario where reddit removed some subreddits for wholly subjective reasons is similar to this craigslist thing.


Which it isn’t. At all. One is mandated by law and the other is self imposed community standards.
