That is not the same case morally as Tinder because photos posted on Reddit are public and have no expectation of privacy. (also, it's not technically complex to get the image URLs from the Reddit data dumps, albeit getting the images themselves will likely hit a ToS violation)

Really? Does this apply even if the photo is posted without the consent of photographer or subject?

(because we already had that, and it was a fiasco)

I said not-the-same-case; the legality is still incredibly complicated.
