      No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

      The problem is this is still pretty vague. The communities that were blocked weren’t sharing copyrighted material, but resources for finding and sharing said material. You might think this is being overly literal but I’m pretty sure it’s the same loophole that allows reddit to host r/piracy without getting into legal trouble.

      On the other hand, if we take this rule at face value it could be interpreted as not allowing the sharing of any kind of content without the express permission of the creators.

      So it’s not an issue of people being lazy or ignorant, but overly broad/vague rules
