>> It's equivalent to a librarian restoring some of their books that have been vandalised by a disgruntled author.
No, your analogy is idiotic.
Librarian had a sign up: Authors are allowed to vandalise their books. Then they restored it.
Every single reddit post has a "delete" link. If Reddit doesn't want people to delete their posts ... then I will go out on a limb and will suggest to ... remove the "delete" link?
The library bought those books and as such possess the physical copy. If somebody vandalizes it, that's destruction of property and bad.
Reddit never paid anybody. Reddit is made up of comments made by people, and those people can decide to delete these comments. Reddit is a for profit company looking to squeeze maximum shareholder value from the value provided by others people comments, and doesn't enjoy the same leniency that a public library would, IMHO.
