It requires them to restrict certain categories of video, so that users cannot share content on cyberbullying, promoting eating disorders, promotion of self harm or incitement to hatred on a number of grounds.

Wow, what a horrible, restraining overreach.

I am shedding tears for the 1.2% engagement loss this would cost Reddit next quarter. Imagine what they have to pay devs for filtering abusive videos!

(I hate to sound so salty, but its mind boggling that they would fight this so vehemently, instead of just... filtering abusive content? Which they already do for anything that actually costs them any profit).

Probably would require them to actually pay moderators! The horror!
