Fuck Spez
I agree, but what the Irish are doing is dumb. If reddit it hit with that, then so should Google and the whole of the internet, since everything can get you videos. No one should be in charge of sensoring the internet.

He's such a disgusting greedy little pig boy who frankly belongs in a deep hole where nobody will find him 🙏

Interesting given that he is actually preparing for an apocalypse scenario where he hides out in a bunker only to emerge a leader of men.

Does he know that his net worth will be reduced to either his useful skills, or whatever the next guy gains by killing him and taking his stuff?
Seriously, you better have something real useful for your bodyguards, because they're probably the first ones that'll turn on you.
There was some legit talk among the wealthy a while back about how to control their ~~slaves~~ servants.. and the idea of bomb collars was floated…
I can’t find the article at the moment (I’ll edit when I do because I’m still looking but my app tends to crash if I wait), but this is all totally on the up and up and it’s really fucking depressing that there are so many articles now about doomsday bunkers for the ultra wealthy… like they could have just pumped that money into fixing things but they don’t want to.. sociopaths.
Edit- found it faster than I thought!
Rules for rulers
I love this idea of billionaires making bunkers. Pretty sure I can afford the quikrete and wheelbarrows needed to make this a better world.
Hey I'll help fund and work that too. 💪

Shut up, Weasley!
Eat slugs, Malfoy!
I was going for a TNG reference. The HP reference was entirely unintentional, though may have been unconscious.

It requires them to restrict certain categories of video, so that users cannot share content on cyberbullying, promoting eating disorders, promotion of self harm or incitement to hatred on a number of grounds.
Wow, what a horrible, restraining overreach.
I am shedding tears for the 1.2% engagement loss this would cost Reddit next quarter. Imagine what they have to pay devs for filtering abusive videos!
(I hate to sound so salty, but its mind boggling that they would fight this so vehemently, instead of just... filtering abusive content? Which they already do for anything that actually costs them any profit).
Well......the problem is reddit's size.
I'm not part of reddit anymore because they filtered me out for abusive content.
The content that was so abusive? I told a story on /r/Cleveland about the time 35 years ago I got my bike stolen.
I wasn't accusing any current reddit user of being the theif. But reddit bots flagged me of being abusive to other users.
We don't even know if that guy who stole my bike 35 years ago is even still alive, much less an active redditor on /r/Cleveland. So who am I being abusive to, when I say it's a bad idea to let strangers ride your bike without some kind of assurance you'll get it back?
I got banned when I told a literal Nazi, that said that literal Jews should die, should drink bleach to purify their genes before they contaminated the genepool.
I still stand by it. my grandfather fucked up Nazis, and I'll fuck up Nazis too.

They would have to hire a shitload of people to police it all along with the rest of the questionable shit on there, like jailbait or whatever other shit they turned a blind eye to until it showed up on the news
Not saying it's right but from a business standpoint it makes sense

Dear Netherlands,
The pigboy is your problem now. Sorry not sorry.
Sincerely,
Everyone else
You can almost hear the EU lawyers cracking their knuckles and quietly saying: "about that user data protection."
Um... Did you read the article? It's about moving their EU Headquarters from Ireland to the Netherlands. GDPR applied before and after. This is specifically about Irish censorship requirements.
Yeah, moving to the EU to escape regulation doesn't seem like a smart move.
I‘m confused. Reddit claims it doesn’t host videos, just links to them but it absolutely does host videos.

Sounds like another case of US tech companies fucking with the web of EU regulations to nobody's benefit but their own.
It's no wonder they moved to another tax haven. Sorry, sorry. The EU doesn't have tax havens according to their own rules. Low tax threshold geographic jurisdictions.
Wait isn't Ireland an EU tax haven?
