> The police and media need to deal with reddit by making better information available faster. Reddit is their competition now and they should recognize it as a disruptive force. Just like Uber, I don't want it regulated away.

Spreading information faster than people could correctly evaluate it is exactly what caused this problem. Doing it more would just end up with more witch hunts.

Your desire to jump to instant conclusions about complex issues is, quite frankly, dangerous and troubling.

No, we should never leap to conclusions or immediately try to solve the case based on the new data coming in the instant it does. There is a reason that police are slow to say things and that they investigate leads before making claims.

So they don't ruin innocent lives more often than they already do - and reddit doesn't have any such care.
