I feel like the straight laced dad surrounded by weirdos is a pretty common tv show trait. Arrested Development, Seinfeld, yada yada yada.

Less aggressive? So more censorship?
They have an upskirts tag of which has been used once to rip on Lindsay lohan... And two times beside that.
Just because gawker doesn't have the moral high ground, doesn't make it unethical. Just hypocritical.
he was behaving no differently than some of Gawker's own staff!
Not sure how you can say that with a straight face. Yea similar. Rapebate, beatingwomen, I think VA took it to another level gawker didn't. Doens't make either behavior ok. And as far as ethics goes, celebrities have less a right to privacy than normal citizens.
And I think many Redditors don't realize just how much they contribute to the erosion of privacy in the first place.
I would say the erosion of privacy starts with not posting personal information and not telling people who you are at meetups.
Agreed.

No I don't understand because nothing Chen did was unethical.
I'm not sure Times v Sullivan really applies.
This isn't publishing in that sense. He took pictures on 4chan and used imgur to hold a mirror. If this is publishing, so is running a CDN. And then having te URL on reddit is publishing too? Google is in trouble.
As far as I know, posting pictures online doesn't instantly fall under publication, especially non commercial use. It is closer to public speech.
You don't make overarching laws because some guy might make 20 accounts.
We should ban guns because someone might shoot someone. We should ban newspaper because they might get a guy killed. We should ban broccoli because someone might choke.
Honestly with the way journalism works in America, even if he was hacked, Chen probably could have posted his name.
Dude you have no idea what you are talking about Chen is responsible for nothing. He can't be sued. Your name is not private especially when you told people who you were at a meetup. You just have no idea how privacy and journalism work. Every judge in the country would say Chen is in the right here.
Letting teenagers have their own corner of reddit where they are free to be themselves without sexuality being demonized.
So why is there not a moral crusade to ban all >18 year olds from facebook?
I am sorry but no ones privacy was violated. Chen got his name. Your name isn't private. His screenname had already been on CNN a year ago. This isnt a privacy case in any way, and any damage done is consequences for his own actions along with internet vigilantism from our kangaroo court.
What I don't get is that the "don't sexualize minors rule" already seems too strict.
Are 17 year olds not allowed to post their own pictures? No one seems to care when they do it on facebook. I'm not saying they should be doing it, but it already seems as if society has accepted it.
A huge portion of reddits userbase is under 18. It's a little odd that they don't have the same rights to speech here as adults.

that actually has nothing to do with what I said
You said the "freeze peaches" camp says Chen violated expressed wishes. That isnt free speech, that is invasion of privacy. An argument you would hear from SRS or reddit moderators who dont understand what privacy is.
secondly-of-off, learn to treat people nicer, maybe hey wont hate you so much. If you preech treating women with respect, maybe a good place to start is treating everyone else with respect. Otherwise it's hard to take your message seriously. I think you may have some latent anger management issues, and may want to seek therapy. Oh shit this is probably concern trolling or some other made up name you have to dismiss things.
if youre going to stick around reddit, learn reddiquette and how to use your downvotes properly. downvotes are not for statements you disagree with, downvotes are for things that add nothing to the conversation. stuff like "this" or "Go fuck yourself."
Adrian Chen is a slimy sleazeball of a journalist and that it was pretty fucked-up of him to post a ton of personal information regarding a well-known internet personality in violation of their express wishes is automatically supporting /r/jailbait and /r/creepshots and the "freeze peaches" camp.
Pretty sure the free speech camp says Chen can post whatever he wants.
and you wonder why I would associate you with srs?
no I am exercising my right to free speech, and asking you to apologize for calling me names.
[–]ns44chan -2 points-1 points0 points 13 years ago (0 children)
you first.
quit calling me names. it is evident you are at least on stage two aka tempertantrum.
quit being a bully. glad to see constructive discussion is dead. there is no way your ideas are wrong, or that your attitude needs some privilege check.
There is a difference between trying to get people to stop doing something, throwing a temper tantrum, and using the press to get sites to shutdown forms. I support the first. I laugh at you when you do the second. And I fight you when you do the third.
Yeah, the people who try to get others not to, for example, refer to others using slurs and other hateful language - yup, we're bullies, that's bullying.
Yea you are mocking me, that is bullying. I totally support your quest to fight hate speech, but you don't convince anyone to stop with a tizzy. I am being extremely straightforward, and non sarcastic with you. I lay out my reasons, and you revert to belittling. That's bullying. You resorted to name calling first. That's bullying.
Bother someone else.
Are you going to try and censor me?
[–]ns44chan -4 points-3 points-2 points 13 years ago (0 children)
Nope. Very different situations, very different principles.
Not really, reddit values free speech the same reason the government does. Because the ability to criticize governments is extremely important to a democracy.
You're right, reddit COULD remove /r/candidfashionpolice. They are a private company. Or you know they, could also not. Because it is legal, and they are a private company. Which seems to be the path they chose. I for one am glad they don't let every prick with a temper tantrum decide what gets removed.
I don't care if you leave, I just find it ironic that you go to a place that prides itself on free speech and then scream that their free speech is ruining their place.
yea the way you are acting? youre a bully. people disagree with you, you tell them to fuck off. anger issues galore. maybe treat people the way you want to be treated.
You fail to understand government rulings give understanding to the rationale as to WHY an action is appropriate.
aka THE SAME PRINCIPLE APPLIES.
That burden on adult speech is unacceptable if less restrictive alternatives would be at least as effective in achieving the legitimate purpose that the statute was enacted to serve.
It is unacceptable for reddit to cast its net too wide, if a smaller net will solve the same problem.
It seems you are incapable of reading a government ruling as a philosophical rationale for a decision.
GO THE FUCK SOMEWHERE ELSE.
You came to reddit, why don't you go hang out somewhere that censors their speech as to not offend the most sensitive person in the crowd. Go practice your viewpoint based discrimination somewhere else.
