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.
