I bet it's the same problem tumblr and pornhub had. They're realizing they've got a bunch of illegal pornography on their computers and they would rather they didn't.
Bingo. And once you hire those people you have to explain why you are still failing to take down illegal shit. Refusing to staff up saves you on money AND liability.
Stricter moderation would mean an onlyfans style verification involving IDs and consent forms. Which would be admitting that Reddit and Imgur are part porn sites. With Reddit going public, this is the last thing investors would want. They are investing in a social media style link aggregator, not onlyfans free (at least that's what they want to portray publicly).
In short the whole Reddit going public is fucking everything up.
I mean a lot of Reddit porn is no longer a secondary provider thing, lots of people create Reddit accounts to post nude images of themselves and nothing else. The images are either hosted on Reddit themselves or Imgur.
Wait, sorry, it's Secondary Producer, not provider. Secondary Producer is actually a legal term under 2257 that indicates their role as a host obligates them to keep certain identification on hand of all models pictured in the porn. The same goes for the people who share the images, even if they're not the creators of the image. It's a fucked law that's gone in an out of limbo since it's inception.
The first part of that law sounds good, the second part about sharing the images sounds pretty messed up. But Reddit or Imgur implementing proper verification processes to obtain such documentation would be a public admission that they are a porn site on some level, which would also be terrible for investors. So I guess that's why they're going to try ban all porn before Reddit goes public. Like Tumblr all over again.
It's one of those laws that sounds good, but was just rehashing previous laws and creating another stick for the law to go after people who weren't breaking previous laws. Standard think of the children shit, packaged around being able to harass enemies of the state when they can't go after them for anything else. It's pretty much unused since it's creation back during the Bush years, except to send a message. In other words, imgur and reddit have been breaking this law since they've first allowed adult content, without any repercussions. Which should tell you how much the state actually cares about underage porn.
I mean yes, Reddit is going public for investors, Imgur was invented as a Reddit image host in the beginning. And Reddit is full of illegal porn. Verification on porn subs is done by moderators that don't even work for Reddit, all it requires is a nude photo with the date and subreddit name on a piece of paper for most. There is no actual age or person verification. All it will take it another Anderson Cooper style jailbait investigation to tank their investment.

this would require hiring people to moderate so it's impossible

2257, baby! Reddit and imgur are both Secondary
