![]() ![]() This self-moderation effort at the community level continues to be the most scalable solution we’ve seen to the challenges of moderating content online. Users who write and enforce these community-specific rules are volunteer moderators (known as “mods”), and they perform the majority of community moderation actions without involvement from Reddit, Inc. Users then create their own communities (known as “subreddits”) and establish additional rules that are tailored to a community’s unique and often highly specific needs. Reddit’s Content Policy serves as a set of principles-based rules that apply to all users and content on Reddit. This approach is akin to a democracy, wherein everyone has the ability to vote and self-organize, follow a set of common rules, establish community-specific norms, and ultimately share some responsibility for how the platform works. Behind this growth, our mod and admin teams have worked tirelessly to prioritize user safety and security in furtherance of our mission to bring community, belonging, and empowerment to everyone in the world.Ĭontent moderation on Reddit happens through a layered, community-driven approach. We’ve also seen an increase in legal demands from private parties and governments to remove content on Reddit (e.g., 104% increase in copyright takedown notices 15% increase in government removal requests ), and a 32% increase in law enforcement or government requests for user information. ![]() At the same time, we saw a roughly 20% increase in the volume of content removed by our community moderators, and a 27% increase in the amount of violating content removed by Reddit admins. Reports for previous years can be found here.Ģ021 was an exciting year on Reddit, resulting in the creation of nearly 5.8B posts, comments, private messages, and chats across the platform. As we continue to incorporate guidance from The Santa Clara Principles on Transparency and Accountability in Content Moderation, this year we offer more insight into what we do about illegal or unwelcome content on Reddit (Content Removals), how we handle prohibited efforts to artificially promote content (Content Manipulation), how we identify potentially violating content (Source of Report/Flag), and what we do with bad actors (Account Sanctions). We publish this annual report to provide transparency about content that was removed from Reddit, accounts that were sanctioned, and legal requests we received from third parties to remove content or disclose private user data. An important part of this mission is ensuring users’ safety, security, and privacy. The mission of Reddit is to bring community, belonging, and empowerment to everyone in the world. ![]()
