Digital Smarts - Reddit Attempts to Go Positive
You are here
Reddit, the entertainment, social networking and news website/app, has decided to try to become a more positive place after survey data was released showing users are unhappy with harassing behavior on the site. In a recent blog post the site announced it is launching an anti-harassment policy that will ban users who bully others. Users who believe they are being bullied will be able to email Reddit to report it. Some critics argue that the policy is vague and is not consistent with Reddit's promotion of free speech. Others say the site is just pandering to advertisers who want to see more positive content on the site.
