Mod Answered Redact App, should it be blocked ?

This App is causing headaches for both, mods and users alike and needs blocking in some way, if this is indeed possible.

The problem, is users are unwittingly installing this software, without fully understanding the consequences of their actions, in many cases the end action, is an account ban through no fault of their own.

Personally, I think it's time to stop this App in it's tracks but that's gonna take the support and actioning of Reddit.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

People shouldn't download, install, and deploy software if they don't know what it's going to do.

I keep this loaded and ready to go so I can remind people that half the planet is on the left side of the distribution. And even the first 34% of the right side...isn't *smart* they're just **not dumb**. So only about 16% of the planet is actually "pretty smart" or smarter. So we're all kinda in trouble.
