It was empathetically and morally bankrupt trash," wrote one users.</p><p>Another added: "So many people think Reddit is crossing the line and going too far with this when they should be crossing the line... You don't want to be anywhere remotely close to this line. No company should be faulted for wanting a sizable buffer between them and child pornography," wrote one user.</p><p>But someone else suggested the move would backfire: "You realise that this precedent sets you up for an eventual removal of all not-safe-for-work content... You have no way to make sure that NSFW content adheres to your new standards or not. This is going to be seen as a mistake in time."</p><p>Others suggested that the move would merely drive pornographic deepfakes to other sites more willing to tolerate them.</p><p>"They're not going away just because the Reddit admins threw a tantrum," wrote one.</p> </div> </div> <div id="topic-tags"><div id="u35762269096449018"><div class="tags-container"><h2 class="tags-title
