This is not the same as class-action suits, in fact it wasn't even a court case. So why lawyers were likely involved, the ones on the DPC side were likely employed and therefore don't receive a payout. Considering if this gets collected, I certainly assume so, do you have any indication it doesn't?
Reddit claims the auomated process was to stop doxxing - in other words reddit seems to be claiming they have a bot which scans the content of posts for an employees name.
By way of a really dumb algorithm with really dumb governance.
It surprises me how much bad stuff is allowed to run without oversight.
It’s perfectly cool to experiment with code and try new things to see if it works. It’s stupid to do that with real things like the “Article Banner” or whatever Reddit has.
I’m sure there’s lots of complexity but I suspect there’s a decision being made to let things run and they haven’t set up the right checks and balances to see if it’s working.
If an established account has a submission flagged and blocked that should be really rare and either require a human to check it out, or to allow it and flag it for review.
Reddit gets tons of spam, I’m certain, but it’s probably not from real accounts or from sources that have a long history of their content being submitted without flags.
If a newspaper’s article is blocked automatically because the rule is too stupid, that’s too high impact of a failure condition.
My suspicion is that because Aimee is transgender, they expected anti-transgender comments about her and were thus more eager with "anti-doxxing" filters.
You still get auto banned for mentioning the name of a reddit admin, someone who not only works at reddit but was involved in political parties so you would assume they are considered a political figure. Some default subreddits have opted to go private in protest. They are seeing it as blatant censorship.
There is nothing wrong with being pro-EU, even rabidly so. People who are rabidly against the EU get off the hook, all the time.
Also, it is not illegal for the EU to be banning exports of this vaccine product. Plus, where did the tax subsidies come from? In this case it is from an EU member state. This is how pharmaceutical companies work; they plant themselves where the subsides are.
The biggest mistake that the EU made was that they trusted free market forces too much.
Could you please try to provide any sort of sourcing for your statement? You might be right, but how is anyone supposed to take what you say as fact if you don't provide any evidence?
Just being Pro-EU doesn't mean the reporting on this vaccine-drama is inaccurate. It means we probably need to be careful of what they are saying, but doesn't automatically mean it's wrong.
1 tweet is not evidence of bias in itself, though, if you've been following along since Brexit it's pretty obvious. I invite you to spent 10 minutes looking through his twitter feed and judge for yourself.
