What I was most struck by was the hypocrisy: in Reddit's vision, freedom of
speech includes anonymously posting invasive images of teenagers, but
excludes posting the name of a 49-year-old programmer who anonymously posts
invasive images of teenagers.

No privacy rights for teenage girls, complete privacy rights for those who
invade their privacy. There are most definitely parallels to Wikimedia.
