Reddit was accused of contacting Luigi Mangione’s content

It is not exactly the news that Luigi Mangion, the murderer accused of the CEO of UNITEDHELTHARE, Brian Thompson, is a viral feeling. It was discussed, lust after that, and those with the idol. There are even Dave Franco’s calls to play in a movie. However, in the era of populist anger, web platforms seem to be increasingly cautious about the associated content, for fear that the vast fake may turn into violence.

Regulation Notice recently Some forums on Reddit were subject to control of their discussion of the accused killer. Supervisor of a long -term sub -suburb, /P/Popcons CultureIt was suspended by the platform after failing to suppress the ongoing discussion of manganese. Follow the procedure An extraordinary warning From the site safety team, Redditsafety, who stated that subreddits that violate content policies and engraved “violent content” will get a warning.

“Today we are offering a new enforcement procedure (somewhat) on the site,” I read the alert, noting that “the start of the day, users who, in a specific time frame will start several parts of the prohibited content to violate our policies in obtaining a warning.” He continued: “While this is only warning, we will think about adding additional procedures on the road.”

It was not long later, published /R /Papculture, which apparently appeared ongoing discussions of Manjyoun, published a memorandum claiming that one of the supervisors had been suspended. “This branch has been placed in the restricted situation and the main Ministry of Defense was suspended for approval by the comments mentioned by” Luigi “. Luigi seems to now oppose the rules although they have never told us. All comments with the word” luigi “are as a sign as possible to incite violence,” the note says.

However, while the users reported his ban or censored to just mentioning the name of mangis, Redait claimed that the user who was suspended allowed a lawsuit for violence:

“After publishing, a Reddit spokesman wrote to Slate that” one of the R/Popculture modified to approve a large number (at least 20) of the comments containing direct calls to violence, including the images that celebrate Thomas Matthew Crooks and inviting the content to kill the president. “They added,” Since R/Popculture had only one MD, we added car filters “to help liquidate the reported publications and for science” certain major words. “

It should be noted that /R /Papculture is still available, but rather includes a profile for manganese like Jesus, so it is not quite clear what the user means when they said it is “closed.” However, other sub -cases that have been allocated exclusively to Luigi content have been banned in recent days. “I remember R/Luigimangione was banned, then R/Luigimangione2, then R/Luigimangione3, and I think it has risen to R/Luigimangione6 before people like us, we do not keep it” … for him, and it has been banned that that was banned that also. “

When it was reached to comment by Gizmodo, a Reddit spokesman added that there was no “Sitewide candidate for the word” Luigi “or expected that users stop talking about Luigi Mangione”. They added that any of the incidents referred to in the Slate article was “linked to each other or to the voting warning post.”

Reddit spokesperson said that R/Luigimangione “is prohibited to glorify violence, and others (2 and 3) to evade the ban – once the branch ban is banned, you are not allowed to create a identical sub -creation for the purpose of evading this ban. An abnormal amount of unwanted messages is agreed. “The spokesperson added that” in all cases, the ban was not linked to the Luigi manganese topic – our rules apply to the situation on behavior (for example, incitement or glorification of violence) and not the topics. “

Reddit founder shows that there are still a large number of sub-sub–assocate sub-. /R/Freeluigi, which describes itself as a “society to discuss healthcare reform and relevant topics and keep pace with the case that involves Luigi Mangione”, there are still 37,000 followers. In another sublardit, there is /R /Saintluigimangione, only 2.3 thousand followers, but he describes himself as dedicated to the “rise of class consciousness” and “cause”, whatever that means. Subreddits is also available that hates mangione, although it contains fewer members.

“No one in R/freeeluigi wants to kill anyone, and no one celebrates a man’s death. It is clear that there are some crazy people on the Internet. But a full community of 30,000 people should not be punished for the behavior of one person.”
