Invades privacy. Gets upset others are invading his privacy. Totally legit.

I'm hesitant to say it should be directly banned, but at the same time people's privacy should be respected and contrary to popular belief. I guess this is comparable to paparazzi shots. If this were to become illegal, those lovely gossip mags would drop right out of existence too.

Choices actually suck.

It's disturbing to me how many of you feel that pictures of unidentified people and information such as name, phone number, marital status, etc. are equal in terms of privacy.

most of that info is what they willingly put up in the internet. linking their shady behavior to that information is hardly worse then stalker creep photos.

point is:
1. you can be a perverted fuck, no one cares what you do at home. but leave others alone.
2. beeing careless with facebook etc is stupid and might bite you in the ass

If a photography enthusiast took shots of unknowing strangers and uploaded them to his/her website, I doubt that would be found creepy. The only thing that's found creepy, it seems, is the deliberate passing around of candid pictures for sexual purposes.

So, is it the sexuality that makes it creepy? If there were a subreddit for passing around candid pictures without sexual intent, would that still be creepy?
My strategy is to fork people.

Every time I start to read Reddit again, I get reminded why I left in the first place. The whole thing is a prime example of the Greater Internet Dickwad Theory.

Sure there are "good" parts of Reddit. But you'll never be truly isolated. That guy that responded to you in /r/starcraft? He's a mod of /r/picsofdeadkids. That guy that sent you a pm saying you made a good point in /r/politics? Frequently posts to /r/jailbait. Sure you can choose to ignore the "bad" places (as you can on the internet as a whole), but for me, as long as a page is under the Reddit banner, it's death by association.

There is a difference between a photo of a girl in public and your name, address, and private photos.

Honestly this whole thing is stupid, this is why I stay away from reddit.


When in public you are snapped hundreds of times per day by CCTV, you are still anonymous. Agree that there is a big difference between posting a pic of some anonymous girls ass compared with posting personal information about someone.

Who gave these Predittors the right to give out personal information on the internet without permission? I think you will find that is illegal where as taking a picture of someone in public.... perfectly legal in most cases. unethical and immoral? well thats a personal thing but no reason to have your personal information given out by some random person on the internet.

If the government gave out this info, well thats up to them, they have actual authority..... but a private citizen has no right to do it without permission, moral authority doesn't exist in law... invasion of privacy does.


Undue public humiliation and ridicule. Unauthorized pictures of such nature are illegal to post _anywhere_. You can get sued and you will lose if the pictures are deemed as such.

Now your argument hinges on how revealing those pictures are. Your stance would then be that they would not be found humiliating by a court of law.

Sketchy.

But that wouldn't lend itself as well to Positronic's campaign.

I really dislike some of the subreddits that are out there, and I'm okay with a lot of them being censored or deleted. That being said, SRS is a militant subreddit that engages in disgusting behavior. Also, Chen is nothing but a yellow journalist. Dude is a firestarter, fuck him.

Tweets that he was the AMA poster that was going to die in 51 hours, and the internet believes him (based on past behavior, I'd believe him too). Then he gets mad and says "oh, well, you should have known it was sarcasm!" instead of "I'm sorry, it was distasteful and wrong". As if the internet has some sort of format for sarcastic text.

I don't think anyone thinks it's really acceptable to take creepy pictures of girls to share with random people on the internet.

But I also know for a fact that the entire gateway drug to rape theory is fucking retarded. You could make other arbitrary connections with that logic. Using the internet means you'll eventually like child porn! Eating fruit means you'll eventually want to eat entire trees!

You really think it's acceptable to post people's information on the internet? You don't think it's irresponsible? You don't think that there are crazy people out there who might harm him? I don't understand, I mean, the subreddits he created are just wrong, but you're essentially wishing harm on someone, which is just as bad.

The whole story has more angles to it. From what I understand he created hundreds of subreddits and maintained most of them, including most of the ones which represent the more... legally borderline ones. In one of the AMAs he did when questioned WHY he would support such an immoral thing his main idea seemed to be that this stuff will find its way onto reddit one way or the other. The least he can do as a mod is to keep the clearly illegal shit out of there. That's a standpoint I can respect tbh. Someone has to this dirty job if reddit as a whole wants to keep walking on that fine line between allowing barely legal content and not censoring.

Completely ignoring that though, threatening to post private information about someone to blackmail him into following your agenda (especially since this case sounds as if higher ups on reddit are involved) isn't allright. One can argue that the "no private information"-rules both make reddit a great and horrible place but as long as it's up guys like this Adrian Chen shouldn't get away with shit like this.

Holy FUCK, I just checked out what it was, and I think this is the first time I've ever found something disgusting. Would not recommend anybody going there.
