Well that's disturbing. Thanks

Why is that illegal? Sorry I'm not too knowledgeable on the topic.

Haha what the hell. The admins are a bunch of cowards I swear. It's so bizarrely unreasonable that now I just pray for reddits downfall 😂

Could you elaborate on what illegal cross site tracking they're doing? How does it work?

 

I'm a lurker. I don't post on facebook or reddit or anywhere. Today I randomly got a message from reddit that my account was permanently banned for apparent repeated violations of their site wide rules. I have the ReVanced app on my phone that blocks ads on reddit just so those scumbags can't profit off me lurking, but it's the only reason I could fathom that is why I've been banned. Anyway I just wanted to vent so thanks for reading this if you did. Reddit fucking sucks.

Can somebody please tell me if I understand this correctly? So the liberal government had a bill passed that disallows social media companies from sharing news articles, then Trudeau blasts the social media company for not sharing news articles.

When does bill c-18 come into effect?

Thank you everyone. I'm humbled. It's just that reddit has been a daily routine for me for years, and giving up RIF was relatively easy compared to desktop browsing, but I suppose now is better than never.

Hello all,

I hope I don't incur too much flak for this post, but I have been wondering about how reddit profits from its users. I left reddit mobile along with most everyone else when RIF went down, but since then I've still been browsing reddit on desktop with uBlock origin. So they aren't getting ad revenue from me, but I do occasionally make comments. Aside from the principle of still contributing to reddit when I know I shouldn't be, is it possible that doing so still earns revenue for reddit?

Thanks friends
