#2Freedom is a great thing. I agree with the stance against the two bills mentioned in the article.
However, I wish the Reddit co-founder was also against Internet mob justice. It's great for the site because it brings clicks and readers..but not good for our society or the people it targets.

#3I always thought it was pretty ironic that architect of one of the biggest platforms for harassment on the internet wrote a book called "Without Consent"...and it wasn't about that. Heh.

What evidence makes you say that I'm not against mob justice?

I've been a Redditor for 8 years and I have never seen any of the current or former staff condone or encourage Internet mob justice.
My observation has been that they're pretty hands-off even when things get out of control and they often drop into a thread or put up a blog response that almost chides the community for their overall actions.
Perhaps their (mostly) hands-off approach is what makes you think they're not against Internet mob justice? Any admin moderation leads to a Streisand effect giving the problem more visibility and it is very much a problem with the community at times.

This is very interesting and quite sad at first glance. Has there been any official response from reddit?
