Original post by SoRedditHasAnAppNow:
Last night and video was posted on terrifyingasfuck about a woman who was sedated for a c-section and the physician put his penis in her mouth while she was under. He was recorded because the nursing staff put hidden cameras in as they were concerned about what he might be doing.
I tried to report it to reddit, but there wasn’t a category that 100% matched. Regardless, I reported it as “non-consentual intimate content.”
This morning I woke up to learn that reddit had reviewed the post and determined that it did not break reddit’s site wide rules.
So that’s it. Reddit condones rape videos. I knew this site had problems, but I never expected this.
If you want something changed on Reddit, pass it on to the press. Back in the day they let sexually suggestive material of minors on their site because it gathered clicks. Did you guys forget r/jailbait?
They only stopped it when one of the mods got doxxed and it was reported in news articles.
I repeat: Reddit stopped pedo shit only because it generated negative attention.
I’m sure there are enough journalists out there who would love to write about Reddit allowing SA material on their website.
Wasnt the ceo of reddit the mod for that?
Damn i never really noticed how fucked his eye were untill i did this.
No it was violentacrez
Some context so we don’t wade into misinformation territory here: in the earlier days any mod on a subreddit could add any other user as a mod, without their consent or knowledge.
There’s plenty of true bad stuff to witch hunt that asshole for, let’s not get ourselves dismissed for being gullible people who’ll twist anything to fit our narrative.
I’m being pedantic here, but I don’t think you can “witch hunt” based on “true bad stuff” because witch hunt means persecuting on unsubstantiated evidence.
The implication that he participated in moderating the sub is unfounded though.
A small correction, you could make anyone a mod of your subreddit, but they would be notified.
And spez stayed a mod for a long time before that sub was banned.
I mean, this is Lemmy. Not exactly a paragon of avoiding spreading misinformation. But I appreciate your integrity nonetheless.
Spez would have been notified still, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he disabled or turned off notifications, even deleting them without reading them or never reading them at all. Most high profile people do that, including CEOs that use their own service or product.
Yup!
