I've contacted several lawyers already, and all of them agree it's a landmark case... It's kind of why I haven't gone after it because it could change a lot of stuff on the internet and definitely kill reddit. Reddit wouldn't be able to handle the lawsuits, let alone once people realize that reddit should be helping them with the mental trauma of being abused as a mod... Similar to the Facebook mod class action lawsuit…. And if I wanted the state to jump, I would point out that reddit is avoiding paying taxes on labor worked. The state tends to not care, until they are being deprived of revenue they should be paid on.

I bet you would be surprised. They have fleets of lawyers for this type of thing.

It'd be interesting though if you could move in this direction.

I'm sure facebook & fox does as well and why I contact the same law firm that is representing the FB mods for a consultation.... But like I said, I've held off, I don't want to be the asshole who killed reddit. I live in a bay after all. It is why I bring it up from time to time just to see if someone else wants to bite. Haha, I guess I'm a pussy like that, not interested in the money or notoriety, but would love to see it from a distance.
