    Yikes. I mean, I get that sometimes that would be absolutely necessary - like CSAM - but most of the time it seems not so much? In the case of the multimillion dollar company Reddit, who already has an implementation to do things in a good way but then chooses to discard that, I would argue that such a change would be indicative of a shift towards greater authoritarian control.

    But that’s all the worse then for us to be doing the same identical behavior, even if for reasons of insufficient resources to accomplish the implementation of anything different.

    Edit: or do any of the 3rd party apps choose to do differently? That would not alleviate the responsibility of the software to do so, but it could help…
