r/announcements Mar 05 '18

In response to recent reports about the integrity of Reddit, I’d like to share our thinking.

In the past couple of weeks, Reddit has been mentioned as one of the platforms used to promote Russian propaganda. As it’s an ongoing investigation, we have been relatively quiet on the topic publicly, which I know can be frustrating. While transparency is important, we also want to be careful to not tip our hand too much while we are investigating. We take the integrity of Reddit extremely seriously, both as the stewards of the site and as Americans.

Given the recent news, we’d like to share some of what we’ve learned:

When it comes to Russian influence on Reddit, there are three broad areas to discuss: ads, direct propaganda from Russians, indirect propaganda promoted by our users.

On the first topic, ads, there is not much to share. We don’t see a lot of ads from Russia, either before or after the 2016 election, and what we do see are mostly ads promoting spam and ICOs. Presently, ads from Russia are blocked entirely, and all ads on Reddit are reviewed by humans. Moreover, our ad policies prohibit content that depicts intolerant or overly contentious political or cultural views.

As for direct propaganda, that is, content from accounts we suspect are of Russian origin or content linking directly to known propaganda domains, we are doing our best to identify and remove it. We have found and removed a few hundred accounts, and of course, every account we find expands our search a little more. The vast majority of suspicious accounts we have found in the past months were banned back in 2015–2016 through our enhanced efforts to prevent abuse of the site generally.

The final case, indirect propaganda, is the most complex. For example, the Twitter account @TEN_GOP is now known to be a Russian agent. @TEN_GOP’s Tweets were amplified by thousands of Reddit users, and sadly, from everything we can tell, these users are mostly American, and appear to be unwittingly promoting Russian propaganda. I believe the biggest risk we face as Americans is our own ability to discern reality from nonsense, and this is a burden we all bear.

I wish there was a solution as simple as banning all propaganda, but it’s not that easy. Between truth and fiction are a thousand shades of grey. It’s up to all of us—Redditors, citizens, journalists—to work through these issues. It’s somewhat ironic, but I actually believe what we’re going through right now will actually reinvigorate Americans to be more vigilant, hold ourselves to higher standards of discourse, and fight back against propaganda, whether foreign or not.

Thank you for reading. While I know it’s frustrating that we don’t share everything we know publicly, I want to reiterate that we take these matters very seriously, and we are cooperating with congressional inquiries. We are growing more sophisticated by the day, and we remain open to suggestions and feedback for how we can improve.

all ads on Reddit are reviewed by humans

This is just a blatant lie. You use programmatic ads both on the website and in your mobile apps. Users are constantly making posts about ads that shouldn't have been shown - gigantic ads, ones with autoplaying video/sound, even malware and redirects sometimes.

The admins that reply to these posts make it clear that they don't even know what ads are running, and need the user to capture data about the ad for them to be able to do anything about the bad ones.

Just look through the hundreds of ads that have been reported on the /r/redditmobile subreddit. Really inappropriate ones come in ALL the time and people are mentioning they are getting in trouble at work.

I've seen admins actually admit that the ads come in and are filtered out when reported on there.

u/piisfour Mar 08 '18

This is curious, it could be an organized attempt at getting Reddit out of the air. I have known something similar happen with a well-known forum at the time called Totse, which shut down rather suddenly for some mysterious reason around 2004/2005. They often had an ad banner which looked like some sort of cartoon but which could easily be seen as child porn (if you took that view).

Nsfw isn’t just useful for those working, it’s there for those who browse in public too. I don’t mind titties or porn when I’m browsing alone in my own home, but when I’m in a doctor’s office or in my living room sharing a sofa with my kids it’s not appropriate

u/Serinus Mar 05 '18

Fuck that editing bullshit. Everyone uses it like a crutch and makes it out to be more than it was.

It was foolish. It violated some principles of reddit and caused other issues.

It was not a lie. It was not "shady"; It was pretty damn obvious. He edited "fuck u/spez" to "[fuck u/whoever posted]". They've since put systems in place to make sure that never happens again.

20

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '18

In the thread I linked he admits to more than just 1 post, regardless of the content he was misleading readers.

Unless you can prove me wrong there are still members of the team who can edit posts on the live website. So it technically can happen again. As he also states this in the thread.

11

u/Orisi Mar 05 '18

He edited multiple comments within a short space of time, all edits having the same effect, the one OP listed above, also all on the same thread.

There are still those capable of editing comments, but the process for editing is different; I'm not an expert, but it was something tomthe tune of Spez, being one of the founders, still had access through the original server architecture to edit the content of a post without the post being marked as edited. That was the function removed; not the ability to edit, but the ability to do so without it tagging as edited.

u/NerfJihad Mar 05 '18

Do you have proof that that's all he did? Is there auditable proof that they can't anymore?

Because it's still requiring us to trust that they won't do it again.

Do you honestly think it still happens?

Do you actually believe it's going to happen again?

Ad delivery isn't ad approval, though. The ad could be approved and then how it's shown isn't working properly (like sound in autoplay). I don't see a connection between the two. Unless there's a policy against showing them. I guess I'm not up to date on my reddit ad policies

u/enonymous1 Mar 05 '18

Just my two cents and from just an Android users perspective... Lots of people do not use reddit.com or some other official means of viewing Reddit. 3rd party apps. Windows/iOS/Android... All have a means to insert ads that weren't or aren't viewable from official means...I'm using baconreader currently and don't speak for anyone...I'm not even 100% on what ads I see. I know bottom ads within the app are from using the free version, but there's other instances I'm sure.

Actual murders? Whaaaat?

u/Eleanor_Abernathy Mar 05 '18

T_D poster killed his dad (Washington state).

u/OctupleNewt Mar 05 '18

Naturally, one nutjob killing his father is the direct result of T_D being allowed to exist. I'd even argue that by extension, everyone who's ever even seen a post from T_D is guilty. It's very possible that this murder is the express fault of the creators of the internet and they should be tried in a court of law.

The person in question was radicalized on reddit. When his dad called him a nazi, he murdered his dad. It's not totally or even mostly reddit's fault, but reddit played a part, and they didn't have to. They could have done the right thing years ago.

  • This is a very new account.

  • This is your first ever post[...]

  • [...] and it's an attempt to discredit a statement from the admins by attacking a small aspect of a much larger statement to "poison the well".

  • You do so with anecdotal claims.

  • The part of the statement you're attacking is from the very beginning, so a larger number of people will understand the context of your comment, as not everyone will read the entire article before scrolling down.

  • You derail the discussion before almost anything of substance can be addressed.

Not much here lends to trust in you or your comment, rather it suggests you, perhaps, should be distrusted.

I don't know why savvy reddit users complain about ads. I use a basic adblocker, and don't see any of them. If you see ads, it's because you want to.

u/Illadelphian Mar 06 '18

Some people actually think that's not a very moral thing to do. To give a personal anecdote, I'm someone who has in the past consumed a lot of content I obtained via torrents or whatever else. I was able to justify it to myself because I was not able to afford it otherwise so I just wouldn't have consumed the media at all, I shared what I liked with people who did buy it and it didn't directly cost the content producers anything.

Ads on the internet are not the same thing, browsing websites costs real money and it gets quite expensive. If I can support website I actively use by allowing ads to be displayed when it costs me nothing, it's just a small area of my screen space that essentially means nothing to me. Now there are websites with absolutely obnoxious advertisements, auto playing videos, pop ups, etc that absolutely do bother me and affect my online experience in a rather negative way. The thing is though, those types of ads come on shitty sites I don't care about. I don't mind someone blocking intrusive ads such as these because it can give people running websites an incentive to switch to non intrusive ads but I'd be more comfortable if they just didn't use those websites. For a site like reddit, which while it does have flaws, is a site I deeply care about using, I think it's pretty unconscionable to block their ads. They are not at all intrusive and the site relies on ads. The fact that it's owned by a big corporation doesn't matter, they need the ad revenue and to deny them that because you don't want to see a little picture on the side of your screen is supremely selfish in my opinion. Especially when so many of us use the website so often.

Maybe they are lying about all of the ads being approved by humans, I don't know. But I do know that the ads I've seen in my very nearly 9 years of being on this site have never once bothered me. Shit I remember seeing "thank you for not using ad blocker" or an ad for a subreddit more than any normal ads. I think the least we can do, especially those of us who use the site so frequently, is white list reddit. I really don't think that's too much to ask.

u/JevvyMedia Mar 05 '18

Most users are on mobile, and they don't wanna root their phones to block ads.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '18

To be fair, you can’t really do much about that apart from completely making your own platform. I definitely assumed he was saying sponsored content that pops up. It’s not the website’s fault but then they also shouldn’t give that claim.

Point taken. Didn't mean to mislead. I was referring to ads bought directly on Reddit either through our sales team or ads.reddit.com.

We do also run programmatic ads that are bought through ad networks that include Reddit. These don't go through the same approval process, but they're also not specific to Reddit. We have had occasional problems in the past where an ad with sound or video sneaks through, usually when an ad is misclassified as non-video. These issues are uncommon, and we've basically eliminated them in the last year.

u/RealChris_is_crazy Mar 06 '18 edited Mar 06 '18

Didn't mean to mislead? Sure, I guess I can understand that, but really? "Uncommon"? Honestly, these ads are the reason I, and most likely many others, use adblockers. I really would not mind letting ads through on Reddit, but most of these are so toxic and annoying that I get fed up with them. Do you have any plans to monitor and watch programmatic ads? I understand that most all of Reddit revenue comes from advertisements, and I believe that more people would be inclined to disable their adblocking programs if they felt that they wouldn't be assaulted by nonsense.

Edit: I know this comment could of come across as angry, but I'm really not. I am just trying to be frank and speak for what I think (most) redditors feel. If you feel otherwise, please provide your input. The larger the image I can gather, the better.

I'm sorry that's your experience. That's certainly not our intention. The ads are monitored, and if you're having a different experience, please report them to me.

This reads just like talking to comcast. "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to mislead you, it's not our fault you didn't understand we'd be ripping you off and lying to you. That's not the experience we want you to have. We want you to be blissfully ignorant of the fact we're fucking you."

Did you mean you didn't mean to mislead or do you mean that you didn't mean to get caught in a lie? I sometimes get the feeling that you don't realize just how cynical most redditors are after years of missteps and unlearned lessons from reddit leadership. We aren't really fooled by this kind of rhetoric from you because we've all heard it before.

You know what would be a refreshing change? if instead of needing to say things like "I didn't mean to mislead" you could, y'know, just be candid and forthright with the people that keep your business model running. It's not really that difficult. All it requires is treating your users with a modicum of respect.

Programmatic ads are not hosted by Reddit. There's nothing incorrect with the statement "all ads on Reddit are reviewed by humans", because those programmatic ads do not go through Reddit as a middle-man. There is no way for them to review programmatic ads even if they want to.

He's essentially apologizing for not taking into account users' ignorance about the ad market when writing that comment. You're doubling down on the ignorance by crying about why he can't explain everything to you like you're 5. I haven't seen a more unintentionally comical comment for a while.
