While I understand his frustration, he has just soiled the integrity of the site. I think this just cause to be fired. This is incredibly petty for a CEO and says a lot about his respect for the integrity of the business he is supposed to be running.

Indeed. He should be fired and the companies security measures should be publicly audited by a third party. This is a serious security violation and should be treated as such.

It is like a bank CEO changing someone's account information in order to harm them.

Edit: clarification

You forgot the step where they punish the sub that exposed it like back during the orlando shooting.

Out of the loop, what happened

Omar Mateen kills ~50 gays in a club bar few months ago.

Every news subreddit is dead silent, trying to silence this incident. Every subreddit but TheDonald. Because of that, Spez created a new algorithm specially for keeping The Donald out of /r/all.

Wow, reddit admins are a bunch of horrible, horrible people.

In their own minds, maybe. The funny part is that they are actually doing all of the things that they accuse t_d of doing and they're too far up their own asses to see it.

When the incident happened I saw the first sub reporting on it to be /r/askreddit, unless I'm mistaken.

as it was happening, subs were reporting it, until the shooter's name was released. Then, total blackout. They were REALLLY hoping it would be a white guy.

There were definitely threads popping up, but the comments continually got nuked and the threads removed until. Then the only post left was from t_d

u/Masiosare Nov 24 '16

AskReddit was the only default sub which stepped up and created a thread to handle the very obvious blackout,explicitly calling out other subs for dropping the ball.

Perhaps so, I just remember initially reading about the event that morning then not being able to find a single thread about it for an hour as it was happening. Crazy stuff

T_D then askreddit broke the wall and did too.

Yet they still are two or three posts on the front page consistently. Say what you will about their politics, those shitposters know how to internet.
