Oh - reddit has DMCA and CDA safe harbor. A lot of the site thrives off the work of others.

What should happen is for the admins to use this moment to prevent the victimization of those in a similar position to the celebrities, but without the financial means, access to legal services, or competence to do it.

This admin cited the decision to take it down based on "you'd be shocked if this happened to a family member" and honestly, I agree with them whole heartedly.

Perhaps. But it is their choice to do this or not. They're a small team and a small company running a massive website. They're not obligated to do it and we'll be the assholes if we hated on them for *not* doing it.
