Reddit claims to care but it’s more important to them to show investors the “growing engagement numbers.” They’re not here to save the world any more than Meta is, they just happen to have a layer of chumps who work for free.

Those chumps are mostly people who seek power over others in any form possible...

It’s because there’s no regulations in place to enforce these requirements. You think digital financial services companies in the US are allowed to enable financial transaction with Russia? Tell your lawmakers to impose regulations on social media traffic like they do for financial networks and it will go away.

They will interpret that as government ID requirements for all social media accounts. It's already begun, to "protect the children." But somehow I'm certain they'll find a loophole for right-wing influencers.
