Oh for fuck's sake. Give it up. Move over to Voat if you don't like it here, like the rest of the morons are doing.

You have no case against Reddit. No one does, at least not with regards to the current "fattening" situation. No lawyer would tell you otherwise.

We are discussing the protections of the unruh act, fraud, deceptive practices and libel and defamation.

No you're not. You're talking bullshit. Not a single one of those things would apply here.

Jesus Christ.

EDIT: Oh god, this guy's comment is fascinating.

As should be obvious, profiting from a website you've said is in favor of free speech and then banning that speech is a clear example of financial advantage by deception, and if there isn't a law firm already working on a case this strong, I would be very surprised.

LOL. Nope.

They call themselves "The Front Page of the Internet," and due to its traffic numbers, Reddit essentially holds a monopoly on a certain kind of discourse. To not allow other kinds of discourse it to essentially profit from your monopoly status by making competition impossible.

LOL. Nope.

I don't think I've ever seen a group as maligned and libeled as Fatpeoplehate by reddit as a corporation, and the evidence is right there in front of anyone's face.

While membership in a subreddit isn't a legally protected class in the US, that doesn't mean there's no protection at all. In broad terms, if "print, writing, pictures, signs, effigies, or any communication embodied in physical form" is injurious to a person's reputation, "exposes a person to public hatred, contempt or ridicule, or injures a person in his/her business or profession," there's a case.

LOL. Nope.

If this guy is really a lawyer, he should be disbarred for being a moron.

A frightening number of people lack general intelligence. Across all industries.

Yup. I work in IT. It's a myth that it's an industry for smart people. I come across frighteningly stupid things on a daily basis.

Oh, dear god, YES. Let's just say I kept Nerf-style weaponry around my office for good reason.

You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss this idea. Things like Reddit have never been contemplated by common law. Even if current legal theories would not support a cause of action, I think there is a solid policy argument that this needs to change.

I would explore the balancing test in California's Rowland v Christian and progeny (in the public duty sense, not the premises liability sense). Its very flexible and can support a broad range of policy positions.

If it was foreseeable to Pao et.al. that the response to the bannination of FPH would result in an epidemic of bruised sphincters and torn glutei maximi, then it's simply unconscionable for them to have proceeded without at least setting up a public fund to supply Dulcolax suppositories and topical butt ointments to those poor souls who have been afflicted with near lethal butthurt dosages.

Talk to your legislature then. The courts don't make law and they're not going to extend any cause of action to cover this.

Someone's in a hurry today. Read my whole post.

I responded before you made the edits, so the sarcasm didn't come through at that point.

Ooh my bad. I fat fingered the send button in bacon reader before I finished it.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

1) The internet is not a shopping center.

2) The shopping center was allowed to make reasonable restrictions. Banning people from harassing others is reasonable.

That case is not even close to being relevant.
