This really is the key point. Posts which on Twitter or Facebook would be deemed as hate are allowed now on Reddit. They were not before.

Indeed in most EU countries, Reddit steps over the line into hate speech by allowing it against certain groups. There is an important caveat as it still would not allow violence, harassment or bullying.




I am actually shocked at how little thought went into this policy. For example in UK, women are majority. This policy now allows someone to say "I hate women". Everyone except Americas and Europe can now say "we hate people of color". This is such a short sighted policy that I can't believe it's not a joke.
