Reddit is updating its policies on harassment and bullying. They will be taking a more active role to protect individuals while hoping to maintain their hands-free approach to moderation and community building, writes the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Site administrators wrote on Friday that they are changing their practices “to prohibit attacks and harassment of individuals through Reddit…”
They defined harassment as: “Systematic and/or continued actions to torment or demean someone in a way that would make a reasonable person (1) conclude that Reddit is not a safe platform to express their ideas or participate in the conversation, or (2) fear for their safety or the safety of those around them.”
Administrators praised the social media network’s growth since its launch 10 years ago and also addressed a growth in harassment directed at individuals, writs the CBC.
They addressed specifically the posting of people’s private information, or links to people’s private information, without their consent (known as doxing).
Majority Report discusses it.
