View submission: Reddit’s 2017 transparency report and suspect account findings

View parent comment

From this post:

We have decided to keep them visible for now, but after a period of time the accounts and their content will be removed from Reddit. We are doing this to allow moderators, investigators, and all of you to see their account histories for yourselves.

We changed their ban state for the sake of transparency.

Serious question: Why take them down at all at this point? You have to know that people have already saved and archived every scrap around them, so what good is taking them down going to be now that you've pointed them out? Are you required to do so?

1. When are you going to take responsibility for the fact that the #3 subreddit is a hate group that spreads Russian propaganda freely? (reddit.com/subreddits)

2. When are you going to take responsibility for helping hostile powers both foreign and domestic attack our democracy?

Our 2018 elections are under attack and we are defenseless. The president is refusing to allow our intelligence communities to protect us. 70% of the local news markets are now broadcasting Sinclair and along with the largest cable network, are filling our airwaves with actual fascist propaganda. We are approaching a moment in the next few weeks in which actual rule of law may be thrown out when the special prosecutor is fired.

Our country is falling to fascism in slow motion and Reddit is *helping it along* and *profiting from it*.

The #3 subreddit, which you give an audience of *hundreds of millions* to, at the *top of the subreddits list*, broadcasts actual Russian propaganda 24/7. I can't believe we've reached a day when their hate group activities have become less important, but they have.

Our democracy is in real danger, and you're going to take your fat paycheck into your bunker and not give a shit.

You are *knowingly aiding and abetting* information warfare against the United States-- against me, personally, because I live here-- and you should be prosecuted for it.
