Reddit, Police Thyself

Tools cannot judge of their own use. The hammer does not rebel at striking pavement, the brush recoil at distasteful composition. This is true of the internet and its tools as well. What is bittorrent? A way to easily transfer large files between peers. Used by many people in legitimate ways, by pirates for illicit purposes. Bittorrent can't choose to allow one and deny the other. If it could, it would no longer be a tool. What is Reddit? A way for millions of people to collaboratively promote links and discuss them more or less anonymously. Used by many people in legitimate ways, and by pedophiles for illicit purposes. Reddit has decided to be more proactive in their policing of the site. If Reddit ever was truly a tool, it isn't any longer. Not that this is a bad thing, exactly. It's just not going to work. To paraphrase Churchill, this was the worst thing Reddit could do, except for every thing they could have done.
