@graf @sickburnbro @sun I guess the better way to put it is they are acting as publishers rather than platforms then. So far they haven't been going in an directly removing the nigger words but forcing you to do it yourself before posting. Since their doing this well beyond the bounds of keeping illegal content off the site they are making active editorial decisions in what is being published. Thus, editorializing.

This change to active insert ads within pieces of media uploaded by users is just the next step. The next step is changing you posts after you've made them without your consent (see also, reddit admins)
