Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com)
Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, today admitted to editing several comments that criticized him on the site. He made the admission on Reddit, where he posts under the username Spez. CNET adds: Huffman got a lot of flak from members of the The_Donald, a subreddit for supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, after Reddit banned the Pizzagate subreddit. Pizzagate was dedicated to a debunked conspiracy theory linking Hillary Clinton to a paedophile ring. In response, he edited comments reading "fuck Spez" to instead be directed at moderators of the The_Donald subreddit. "I messed with the "fuck u/spez" comments, replacing "spez" with r/the_donald mods for about an hour. It's been a long week here trying to unwind the r/pizzagate stuff," he wrote. "As much as we try to maintain a good relationship with you all, it does get old getting called a pedophile constantly." Huffman added: "Our community team is pretty pissed at me, so I most assuredly won't do this again."
> there's no evidence
but #pizzagate is collecting exactly that
The Clinton/Podesta PR team.
The Pizzagaters have not proven the "pedo ring" theory yet but they have proven that Clinton's friends have an unusual taste for artworks of kids being tortured or placed in sexual poses, one of Clinton's friends was caught smuggling children out of Haiti who the local police confirmed were not orphans, and a person in Haiti who expressed an interest in investigating that story turned up dead a few days later. Imagine the media reaction if this could all be tied to Trump or another high profile GOPer. The art would be on TV until that person no longer had a career.
The Dems call all republicans racists because they are republican. Now the Republicans can fight back and call all Democrats pedophiles. In today's media led world there is in fact nobody who is not either a pedophile, a racist, or a nazi.
Don't forget when Dems tried to call Trump a pedophile too.
Yep, that's the level of political discourse these days, both sides seeing how far they can go to demonize their opponent as the worst human being on the planet. I think political discourse today has gotten worse than it was during the McCarthy era, and is rapidly approaching an 1850's level of vitriol. And the 1850's vitriol led to a civil war.

> Alefantis is not a "friend" of Clinton; he's just a supporter. He's never met her.
There were various fundraisers over there so I'd be careful on the "never met her" part, I'm not 100% sure on that either way. Anyhow, it's the Podesta brothers' connection that's the usually the focus, there really isn't much about Hillary in any of this. There's the Bill Clinton Epstein connection, but you'd be right that there's almost nothing about Hillary personally.
> The art in his restaurant is weird, but it's not "kids being tortured or placed in sexual poses"

Weird is a hell of an understatement. I'm going to let people make up their own minds, but don't say I didn't warn you. Podesta also has quite a few pedophile friends for some reason. Why would you want to remain friends with a child molester / ex-Republican speaker of the house? Maybe it's purely a political connection, but you don't normally see many Democrats eager to remain friends with disgraced Republican pedophiles in this day and age.
That depends on what a person is claiming. Is there evidence that could lead to criminal charges? I haven't seen that and I haven't seen people claiming there is. I'm sure someone probably wrote something somewhere by now, but after as much as I've read, it can't be anybody important.
But if you're asking why people are upset about this, it's because they've found some very weird and disturbing crap. If you click, don't say I didn't warn you!

IF YOU LOSE YOUR LUNCH DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.
Now, it's true that you can find some unhinged conspiracy writings about this with no proof. And a few jokers have made up things. For example, there is no hidden zip file in that one image, I hex edited the damned thing myself and there's no zip marker where they claimed it was.
But there's plenty of real stuff to creep people the hell out, so don't expect this to vanish any time soon.
Until you can identify an actual victim, or a victim's family, this is at the same level of tin foil nonsense as claiming Sandy Hook or the Boston bombing were all crisis actors.
Reality. That and everyone who's ever looked into it. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11...

There, fixed that for you.
They haven't "found" anything - they've made up a bunch of completely unhinged nonsense (of the "substance x in your food is one atom different from dangerous substance y!" level) practically from whole cloth. The only people "creeped out" by this are people already dangerously disconnected from reality.
