[–]malcolmread[S] 1 point 1 month ago
i dont know can you?

Haven't these people heard of, i don't know, the rest of the internet?

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/11n38d/i_am_andrea_seabrook_host_of_decodedc_former_npr/

this is not getting very much response, to the point where it's become a customer service line -- one guy
is asking how come he never got his scrabble deluxe edition for winning the weekly puzzler.

isn't the purpose of reddit to consolidate/replace the internet for you

i still type URLs into my browser's address bar, how oldschool does this make me

i just use AOL shortcuts

was that actually max??

oh, definitely

did i just accidentally doxxxx?

who doxxed

so do the sex tape people involved have to know they are being filmed at the time for it to be okay to subsequently 'broadcast' or not?

no... well it depends on what you mean by "okay." my understanding is that the *legal* issues (which i think are generally regarded as decent proxy for the "moral" issues among journalists) are, was the tape/photo obtained legally -- for paparazzi shots in the US the answer is almost always "yes" -- and does its reproduction constitute "fair use," a question that in some cases might hinge on the public figure distinction. most journalists would argue that a celebrity sex tape constitutes news, whether its fact or the story of its leaking, and justify publishing on those grounds.

AGAIN THOUGH im probably getting some/all of this wrong so lawyers shd feel free to correct.

max are you a 'public figure'?

heh if i were suing someone for defamation my lawyer would argue that i am not. cant really say till im in court though.

If 'this is legal' is Reddit's main defense in standing up against DOXers, then surely it can be a defense for Gawker who doesn't seem to appear to be doing anything illegal either.

yes, tho, also, the legal public figure thing is kind of a distraction, i just brought it up to emphasize that this is a widely-recognized distinction

omg max totally doxxxed himself his real name is malcolm read

and cmon guys do you really think that was me

in a word:

what are yr thoughts on derpy hooves

sorry left out the word

haa

Is "Read" pronounced in past or present tense?

WE GOT SOUND BITES

http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/17/sound-bites-from-ac360-exclusive-invu-w-ex-reddit-troll-michael-brutsch-airing-tomorrow/

GRIFFIN: ANDERSON OUTED YOU WITHOUT SAYING YOUR NAME A YEAR AGO, RIGHT? YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED THEN. IS THE ONLY REASON YOUR’E STOPPING BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

BRUTSCH: YES. I MEAN THAT IS, YOU KNOW, VIOLENTACREZ IS WHAT I DID IN MY SPARE TIME TO UNWIND FROM MY 10-HOUR-A-DAY JOB. THAT’S HOW I RELAXED IN THE EVENING. I NO LONGER NEED TO RELAX IN THE EVENING, BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE A JOB. THAT AND THE FACT THAT THE CURTAIN’S BEEN PULLED BACK AND EVERYONE CAN SEE THE PUPPETEER…THAT AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE, AS WITH THE RAPE AND PREGNANT REDDITS, I HAVE COME AROUND OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS TO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THESE THINGS CAN BE HARMFUL TO OTHER PEOPLE.

DREW GRIFFIN: ARE YOU APOLOGIZING FOR WHAT YOU DID OR TRYING TO MAKE AN EXCUSE FOR WHAT YOU DID?
MICHAEL BRUTSCH: WELL, I AM TO SOME DEGREE APOLOGIZING FOR WHAT I DID. AGAIN, I WAS PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF COLLEGE KIDS. TWO YEARS AGO, WHEN ALL OF THIS WAS AT ITS HEIGHT, THE AUDIENCE WAS APPRECIIATIVE AND SUPPORTIVE OF THE SORT OF GALLOWS HUMOR THAT I PUT OUT THERE.
GRIFFIN: DID YOU GET A THRILL OUT OF THAT?
BRUTSCH: WELL, HONESTLY, THE BIGGEST THRILL I GOT WAS THOSE MEANINGLESS INTERNET POINTS.

MICHAEL BRUTSCH: FOR THOSE FIRST TWO YEARS, I HAD BEEN TASKED MY REDDIT ADMINS WITH MAKING CERTAIN THAT THERE WAS NO OVERT OR REAL CHILD PORN: NO NAKED CHILDREN, NO NAKED TEENAGERS, NO CHILDREN IN SWIMSUITS. JAILBAIT WAS MATURE TEENAGERS WITH THEIR CLOTHES ON. OR WITH THEIR NAUGHTY BITS COVERED. THEY DEPENDED ON ME TO MAKE SURE THINGS WERE WITHIN THE RULES AND THINGS WERE WITHIN THE LINES.
DREW GRIFFIN: THEY, MEANING REDDIT?
BRUTSCH: THE ADMINS THEMSSELVES.
GRIFFIN: THE PROBLEM IS, THE KIDS, THE TEENAGERS, THE PICTURES...WEREN'T YOURS?
BRUTSCH: THAT IS CORRECT.
GRIFFIN: YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO THOSE KIDS WERE?
BRUTSCH: NO. AND NEITHER DID ANYONE ELSE.
GRIFFIN: THOSE KIDS DID
BRUTSCH: WELL, THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

Michael Brutsch ladies and gentlemen.

BRUTSCH: WELL, HONESTLY, THE BIGGEST THRILL I GOT WAS THOSE MEANINGLESS INTERNET POINTS.

and scene

WELL, THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

Mind, boggled

10-HOUR-A-DAY JOB

*weeps in sympathy*

need to unwind from my computer job by going on the computer

spend all day earning dollars need to unwind by earning points

this guy doesn't really get it does he? all he needs to do is to make a contrite, public apology and this thing will probably blow over for him in like a month

instead he's still halfheartedly clinging to his guns

maybe he could have watched netflix instant instead of overseeing a board that posted millions of pictures of underage girls?

MATURE TEENAGERS

What are the odds that some of the alleged child porn he flagged in his position as sleaze-monitor is sitting somewhere on his hard drive? You know, just so there's a record.

How in the world can he tell how old someone is from a picture?

(jokes aside)

JAILBAIT WAS MATURE TEENAGERS WITH THEIR CLOTHES ON

oxymoron here

haha

What about immature teenagers?

BRUTSCH: WELL, HONESTLY, THE BIGGEST THRILL I GOT WAS THOSE MEANINGLESS INTERNET POINTS.

that's p honest i guess

when they make 'the social network 2' about reddit, the final scene will be him refreshing his reddit point screen

I JUST WANTED TO BE EXCELSIORED
