View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
Can you be more transparent than these vague comments. Please explain in detail what is happening to the safety and privacy of redditors (because if our safety is currently at risk then we deserve to know), and what sort of content is not adhering to local regulations. Please then explain what current attempts at mitigating this are in place and why they are not enough. Finally please tell us how the new limitations will successfully mitigate the risks.
If you're just doing all this because reducing NSFW content will improve profits when Reddit goes public, then please just say that. It's the lying and omission which is the most frustrating when you're trying to use a service.

I'm going to assume that they mean that they will violate user privacy like never before in order to verify that they are eligible to view "NSFW" content in their region (mandatory age verification).
They wouldn't be staying silent if the answer was something reason or people were misinterpreting it.

As if they don't mine and sell horrendous amounts of personal data to third parties from the official app. Privacy my ass.
