One last important announcement regarding reddit and spez - Lemmy.world

Maybe a police investigator should do a little snooping. Prison would be one acceptable outcome.
The problem with jailbait wasn't that it was illegal, it was just not a good look for a business trying to court advertising money.
Maybe I misunderstood. What's jailbait? I thought it was underage material.

It was, but it avoided legal issues by:

  • Reddit didn't actually host images or videos at the time, just links and comments
  • As I recall, it wasn't pornography, just pictures of kids in bikinis with creepy comments
If he posted images of children, even if not pornographic, it is unlikely he held the copyright for them and, in some jurisdictions might still be considered exploitation. I hope a police investigator at least looks at it.
I don't think anyone has accused spez of posting there.
He didn't even knowingly moderate there. There are real reasons to shirt on spez without this kind of made up shit. It just gives pro reddit morons ammo.
