Hackers breach Reddit to steal source code and internal data

Stolen stuff

“After one employee fell victim to the phishing attack, the threat actor was able to breach internal Reddit systems to steal data and source code.

"After successfully obtaining a single employee's credentials, the attacker gained access to some internal docs, code, as well as some internal dashboards and business systems," explains Reddit in their security incident notice.”

Can we stop obsessing over alleged censorship conspiracies, please? Reddit and other social media platforms are private sites that are allowed to decide what they host as part of their free speech rights. Either deal with it or go to another site.

Not necessary, that place needs to just go away.

Once they start exercising editorial discretion over the content, they are no longer an open platform but a publisher. They can do that if they want, but they should be giving up any of the special protections they are afforded by the law for allegedly allowing an open platform.

Not this weaselly argument again. Social sites are not the same as newspapers or book publishers; it's not realistic to put them on the hook because their moderators or algorithms didn't catch something in time despite policies. They exist in a middle ground between platforms/providers and publishers that even has some parallels to stores. A store can refuse service for any reason so long as it's otherwise legal; if you spew hate speech or vaccine misinformation in a Wendy's, they can kick you out no matter how much you grouse about "free speeeeeeech." Why should Facebook or Twitter be obligated to host someone who's making life miserable for other users?

The beauty of protecting social networks' free speech rights is that it leads to a variety of experiences that suit your tastes. If you want a well-moderated space where you don't have to worry as much about bigots, you can go to Facebook, Instagram, Reddit or Twitter. If you insist on a nearly-anything-goes policy, you can go to 4chan, 8chan, Gab or Parler. Just because your preferred approach isn't popular doesn't mean there's a free speech violation.

Someone has obviously been avoiding everything regarding the releases about Twitter, how it has operated, who was making the calls and who was involved in deciding what the calls were going to be.
