I pointed out the double-standard within the comments here. I’m not certain about them on Reddit as I haven’t read it.

Personal attacks? Really?

I admit to not being familiar with their actions. Since you are actively engaged with this discussion, do you know of any examples where Reddit has taken similar actions or failed to take similar actions with a protected class? I’m trying to get feedback concerning my initial thoughts - it seems there is a…

Let me start by clarifying. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy summarized their decision as follows: “There are certain well-defined and limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise a Constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the…

I think that is a great analogy, but it needs to be tweaked a bit. Reddit is the baker who is providing rooms for its customers. People are free to wander between any of the rooms, so the only reason anyone would be able to hear the Nazi is if they voluntarily entered the Nazi’s room and stayed to hear his speech.

Your religion is outside of your control? No, it is not. But it is a protected class.

Let’s address this first:

I can’t agree with you on that one. There’s plenty of hate spewing from both the left and the right.

You assume that being gay and being a “jew-hating mouth breather” are mutually exclusive. They probably are, but you never know!

Interesting line of thought regarding the cake. The Court’s opinion regarding violence: “...and the insulting or ‘fighting’ words – those which by their very utterances inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace.” It would be hard to argue that writing “Kill Whitey” on a cake would result in an…

Free speech is also protected except in certain cases. Why would anyone support discrimination in any form? Should the message matter? If there are rules in place, shouldn’t they be applied equally?

No. That’s your view through your rose-colored glasses.

Let’s start here. Businesses (I’m sure we agree that Reddit is a business) are defined as Public or Private not based on “membership” requirements, but on how restrictive those requirements really are. The Boys and Girls club is an excellent example. They were the Boys Club until a court decided that sex-based…

My point is that it hasn’t been tested as yet. When someone from the [insert offensive group here] decides to go get a cake that reflects some hateful message and is refused service, we may find out. When someone decides to sue Reddit for refusing service, we may find out.

There are no attempts to find “cutesy little ways to discriminate against people” going on here. I see a double standard and am interested in a discussion about it.

It’s more a difference in private versus public.

Hey, Bryan. I see a lot of discussion in the comments about how Reddit is a private company and has the right to ban whatever they please. Most of the comments appear to be left-leaning and are aimed at informing right-leaning commentators about the difference between private and public forums in regards to free…

Reminds me of the Tamiya Wild Willy’s Jeep.

Proof of concept? Next hack will occur when some dignitary is visiting and the hackers can lock him in his room.

Although Urban Dictionary may claim that Hawaii Five-O is the reason, we always understood that the Mustang 5.0 Interceptor was why “five-oh” was slang for police.
