So reddit hires a trans former UK political candidate and known pedo apologist, who lived with their father while he was abusing (torturing) a 10 year old girl. And when this comes to light goes on a banning spree. Good job reddit. I'm sure Aaron Swartz would be proud. F U Spez.
Really disgusting stuff here from Reddit. I’m horrified to be honest
Can you provide source for their crime? I am unable to find it

Not the first time it's been like this on reddit. They have a user outrage every couple of years it feels like
they've had incidents in the past where a blogger would publish an article on one of their employees and then redditors would start spamming that article on reddit to dox them -- in a coordinated action so the blog article was written for the purpose of doxxing the employee. So they have a bot which bans links to article which mention reddit employees by name which hands out auto-bans to prevent that behavior. What went wrong was that the code didn't have any allowance for newspaper articles, or somehow incorrectly classified that article. That problem being made more difficult because the definition of what is a "news site" or "journalist" these days is vague. This sounds like its the same category of problem that Memphis was with twitter. And its a bit odd that this technology-oriented site is getting caught up in the political outrage and entirely missing the fact that a bot did the bans and that reddit acted to revert those actions. Do we now think that programming and algorithmic bugs never happen and that the outcomes of algorithms are always deliberately premeditated actions and never unintended consequences? You can doxx a reddit employee that way. The problem comes up when you've hired a politician as a reddit employee, and you're written an algorithm that only cares about if someone is a reddit employee.
I'm amazed at how bad their HR due diligence is, do they not run background checks on who they hire? I feel like this should be in the "how to hire 101" handbook. Was there really no one else that applied for this role?
100% there hasn't been an HR function at reddit until their legal obligations forced it. Reddit has been a skeleton crew for a decade and just hired whatever shared agenda driving bum they liked. Her hiring was not due to skill or expertise.
HIM* A WOMAN DIDN’T RAPE THAT POOR GIRL. Checkout the #notourcrimes for more violent men being represented as women 😒
I just googled aimee challenor, and wow she seems like a horrible person and should not be able to get any job in any corporation. The fact that there was a 10 year girl in her house getting raped and abused for that long, there is no way she didn't know about it. Evil AF!!!

Okay Wayfair, lol. If you want to chase pedo conspiracy theories your workplace is a good place to start.
@Microsoft Reddit has had plenty of issues regarding the acceptance of underage porn. Be it /r/jailbait, Gallowbob sending nudes to random kids, Ellen Pao accepting Ghislaine Maxwell, ageplay subs.
They are deleting and trying to cover it. Apparently her hubby/bf type writes pedo fanfic too.... Lot of censorship going on on social media right now. In favor of people like this. Its gross.
Cuz there’s big money in claiming these people need lifelong medical treatments and that anything negative about them is “literally” killing them.
