The real hypocrisy is Reddit trying to promote free speech by censoring Gawker's websites.

Reddit isn't censoring Gawker websites... They're no longer even censoring the article Adrian wrote.

I do not like all of Gawker and I similarly don't like all of Reddit (/r/jailbait and hundreds more). The article about Violentacrez was a legitimate and well written piece of investigative journalism. I know this because I actually read the whole thing and there have been hundreds of real news agencies and reporters using it.

As to whether this Adrian Chen guy is a hypocrite or not, I don't care. Gawker is a horribly trollish site, with occasionally good content. We know this. All I'm saying is that Reddit has not always been this way. Reddit has _always_ been against censorship (remember the Sony PS3 root key fiasco?).

Btw, I went to the Gawker link and it's full of Lindsay Lohan pics and news stories about people similar to Violentacrez (without pics).

Are you saying that you don't like reddit because it had a subreddit that doesn't even exist anymore, or are you saying that you don't like that reddit took a 180 on their "no censorship, period" policy once the media started turning up the heat?

And let's not forget Gawker Stalker.

I find both things shitty. I reckon most people feel the way I do about Gawker.
