    If there is ever an investigation, even if just journalistic, I hope you make sure you and others who have experienced this report and contribute to it even if it’s just as personal anecdotes. Reddit has been getting away with a lot of bullshit because they have all the power to hide it under the rug.

    Though I’m glad Reddit is now feeling so confident about the abuses it’s performing that it’s willing to admit them, if only partially. Something peeking out from under the rug is a pretty big hint.

      I doubt there’s going to be an investigation or anything. As scummy as it is, it’s perfectly within their rights as a private company. People should refuse to give business to such a company though, but they (probably) didn’t do anything illegal.

        No official investigation- but a curious journalist could still document it and sour Reddit’s reputation enough to sink them even faster.

        People can’t exercise their rights if they don’t know how they’re being violated.
