Reddit’s crack down on imagery created by mass killers

As you may have noticed with the recent case of the Antioch High School shooting, many photos of the shooter inspired by other cases had been posted but have now been removed.

Those posts were removed by Reddit admins, cited as going against Reddit’s policy regarding violence. Just like in the past with manifestos and live streams, Reddit is taking an approach of also removing glorifying photos of killers posing with their weapons and such.

Just wanted to give our users a heads up as this will likely become more common as we see more and more of this trend taking place.
