In the meantime, to ensure that r/PICS is adhering to all of Reddit’s guidelines and requests, we would be happy to revert the NSFW setting, restrict posting, and remove any and all content that could be considered “offensive” by anyone.
Hmm. So they are superficially giving in, they won’t keep NSFW on to avoid ads money for reddit. But by going restricted, and going after all “offensive” content (could I read that to mean all John Oliver content? i.e. all content since the protests started) they stand to cause a massive drop in traffic to the sub, which should still hurt the bottom line.
This is exactly what they’re gonna do. I’d love to see them implement something like what /r/politicalhumor did and set up automod to react to user comments. So for example, if anyone says “the is offensive” it deletes the post and bans the user
Note the statement to remove any and all offensive content. If they’re still going the malicious compliance route, they’re implying they’re going to nuke the sub.

It could mean all content, full stop. Everything can be offensive to someone.

I love democracy.

E.g. “we’ll go back to being locked which you said we couldn’t do.
So do you want us to listen to rule A or rule B both of which are in conflict?”
