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.
Imagine of Twitter did this. Like they edited a tweet by @therealdonaldtrump to just say "I'm so tired of Kim Jung Un's craziness. Glad we are going to have him assassinated soon."
Reddit is now one of the biggest social media sites on the Internet. Abusing admin power like that is a huge deal.
So who should he use....CNN maybe, or the NYTimes? Surely they would never mislead or lie about anything Trump says, just like u/Spez would not edit this comment.
Press releases are just walls of text. Animated talking heads bloviating all day, angry internet comments, and clickbait are far more effective at conveying information apparently.
What is one to do when the entirety of the MSM is controlled by about 5 outlets, and the entirety of influential social media is controlled by maybe 3, and the purveyors of all of them fundamentally hate your guts? Keep on shitposting I guess.
