See this is what I don't understand. Yes, they don't have the manpower to monitor everything, and you make that sound like it is a bad thing they have to apologize for! It's crazy to think that you can control everything and you are bordering on Orwellian government if you want to. They clearly stated they don't want to and went 'the moral rationalization route about free speech and self-governance' because that *is* the way they operate. They don't interfere with subs unless it is breaking the law or their own rules and it is brought up to them (They are not going to know what happens on millions of subs), its up to the users to decide what content is in reddit.

Because they're claiming to stand for free speech while also folding when circumstances require them to actually back that claim. That's why this is upsetting people.
