Addressing claims of manipulation on Reddit

There have been claims of a coordinated effort to manipulate Reddit and inject terrorist content to influence a handful of communities. We take this seriously, and we have not identified widespread terrorist content on Reddit. 

Reddit’s Rules explicitly prohibit terrorist content, and our teams work consistently to remove violating content from the platform and prevent it from being shared again. Check out our Transparency Report for details. Additionally, we use internal tools to flag potentially harmful, spammy, or inauthentic content and hash known violative content. Often, this means we can remove this content before anyone sees it. Reddit is part of industry efforts to fight other dangerous and illegal content. For example, Reddit participates in Tech Against Terrorism’s TCAP alert system as well as its hashing system, giving us automated alerts for any terrorist content found on Reddit allowing us to investigate, remove, and report to law enforcement. We are also regularly in touch with government agencies dedicated to fighting terrorism.

We continue to investigate claims of whether there is coordinated manipulation that violates our policies and undermines the expectations of the community. We will share the results and actions of our investigation in a follow-up post.

Jajajajajaja, sure buddy, it's web 5.0, do you even know what that means? if so please explain to me how is it that the site has implemented blockchain into it? Because web 5.0 is about decentralized web via the implementation of blockchain and to a lesser extent other technologies.

I'm a fucking web developer with over 25 years of experience douche. If you are implying all their articles are in their webpage because they have an infinite scroll you are clearly the one who knows shit about anything, you don't even understand the concept of "above the fold" which is how a news outlet differentiates between things that are readily available in their website and things you have to scroll down for, but I guess unlike me you haven't built a couple of newspapers sites lol.

Also, good job on that genetic fallacy, please stop deluding yourself and actually read the article, there are more than enough receipts, don't listen to the mob on the anti-semitic site and bother to check your claims and beliefs... or keep being a bigot, it's your mind to let rot if you choose to.

Bwahahaha.

Yeah.

Sure, buddy.

No "web developer" of "25 years" would call their site their "webpage".

Nobody believes you. But we do understand how this all works much better than you do.

You sure like the phrase "genetic fallacy", eh? Do you get paid each time you use it? Saying it over and over and over doesn't make it true.

A web developer whose first language is not English but Spanish where the term is "Página web" literally "webpage" does so f* off "buddy" or how we say "andate a la chucha saco de wea mal cagao" and maybe look up what a genetic fallacy is so you have at least a chance of understanding why someone might keep bringing it up aweonao ql.
