View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
No, that’s 100% a safety concern.
If I share a photo with people in a private community, there should not be a way for someone to exfiltrate that photo from that private community. Full stop.
There are tech barrier to accomplishing that, but also tech that helps accomplish that.
If it’s in a service provider’s technological means to provide those barriers to someone harming someone else, they have a duty to do so, especially if they provide the service for free. It’s the doctrine of the attractive nuisance.

You *cannot* provide read access while making it impossible to copy.
If you share something in a private community, it will always be possible for people who have access to it to duplicate that content and share it.
AKA: piracy.

This doesn't help that.
Anyone can save the image and reupload, or just screenshot it and send it.
All this does, is make sure it's not coming from a reddit.com domain, hence in an imperceivable way, improving reddit's public image.
Also, to nitpick:
people in a private community
That does not represent a subreddit. It might represent a DM, which the api's can't access anyway.

It isn't.
they have a duty to do so
They don't.

No it's not.
