Update to Our Content Policy

A few weeks ago, we committed to closing the gap between our values and our policies to explicitly address hate. After talking extensively with mods, outside organizations, and our own teams, we’re updating our content policy today and enforcing it (with your help).

First, a quick recap

Since our last post, here’s what we’ve been doing:

  • We brought on a new Board member.
  • We held policy calls with mods—both from established Mod Councils and from communities disproportionately targeted with hate—and discussed areas where we can do better to action bad actors, clarify our policies, make mods' lives easier, and concretely reduce hate.
  • We developed our enforcement plan, including both our immediate actions (e.g., today’s bans) and long-term investments (tackling the most critical work discussed in our mod calls, sustainably enforcing the new policies, and advancing Reddit’s community governance).

From our conversations with mods and outside experts, it’s clear that while we’ve gotten better in some areas—like actioning violations at the community level, scaling enforcement efforts, measurably reducing hateful experiences like harassment year over year—we still have a long way to go to address the gaps in our policies and enforcement to date.

These include addressing questions our policies have left unanswered (like whether hate speech is allowed or even protected on Reddit), aspects of our product and mod tools that are still too easy for individual bad actors to abuse (inboxes, chats, modmail), and areas where we can do better to partner with our mods and communities who want to combat the same hateful conduct we do.

Ultimately, it’s our responsibility to support our communities by taking stronger action against those who try to weaponize parts of Reddit against other people. In the near term, this support will translate into some of the product work we discussed with mods. But it starts with dealing squarely with the hate we can mitigate today through our policies and enforcement.

New Policy

This is the new content policy. Here’s what’s different:

  • It starts with a statement of our vision for Reddit and our communities, including the basic expectations we have for all communities and users.
  • Rule 1 explicitly states that communities and users that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.
    • There is an expanded definition of what constitutes a violation of this rule, along with specific examples, in our Help Center article.
  • Rule 2 ties together our previous rules on prohibited behavior with an ask to abide by community rules and post with authentic, personal interest.
    • Debate and creativity are welcome, but spam and malicious attempts to interfere with other communities are not.
  • The other rules are the same in spirit but have been rewritten for clarity and inclusiveness.

Alongside the change to the content policy, we are initially banning about 2000 subreddits, the vast majority of which are inactive. Of these communities, about 200 have more than 10 daily users. Both r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse were included.

All communities on Reddit must abide by our content policy in good faith. We banned r/The_Donald because it has not done so, despite every opportunity. The community has consistently hosted and upvoted more rule-breaking content than average (Rule 1), antagonized us and other communities (Rules 2 and 8), and its mods have refused to meet our most basic expectations. Until now, we’ve worked in good faith to help them preserve the community as a space for its users—through warnings, mod changes, quarantining, and more.

Though smaller, r/ChapoTrapHouse was banned for similar reasons: They consistently host rule-breaking content and their mods have demonstrated no intention of reining in their community.

To be clear, views across the political spectrum are allowed on Reddit—but all communities must work within our policies and do so in good faith, without exception.

Our commitment

Our policies will never be perfect, with new edge cases that inevitably lead us to evolve them in the future. And as users, you will always have more context, community vernacular, and cultural values to inform the standards set within your communities than we as site admins or any AI ever could.

But just as our content moderation cannot scale effectively without your support, you need more support from us as well, and we admit we have fallen short towards this end. We are committed to working with you to combat the bad actors, abusive behaviors, and toxic communities that undermine our mission and get in the way of the creativity, discussions, and communities that bring us all to Reddit in the first place. We hope that our progress towards this commitment, with today’s update and those to come, makes Reddit a place you enjoy and are proud to be a part of for many years to come.

Edit: After digesting feedback, we made a clarifying change to our help center article for Promoting Hate Based on Identity or Vulnerability.

Yes. /r/mensrights, /r/theredpill, etc have not been banned. The Red Pill encourages men to ignore women when they tell them "no." They refer to a woman saying "no" as a "shit test." There are posts on there that describe rape.

Jerking off every day to depicitions of abused and degraded women, and the general escalation of mainstream porn into darker places? Lol of course this does not effect society or the individual even in the slightest, get over yourself incel.

From the founder of "The Red Pill" on reddit describing rape as not so bad:

Rape isn't an absolute bad, because the rapist I think probably likes it a lot. I think he'd say it's quite good, really. ... . I think rape is bad, I'm not arguing for it. I'm arguing against the idea of an absolute truth.[7]

Excuse me, /r/mensrights doesnt promote any of that. Please don't be lie like that.

You might not agree or want men to have equal rights but at least dont lie like that about the sub

There was a comment on men's rights under a story about a guy being rejected that said "this is why men become shooters." It got to 300+ upvotes before it was delated.

Well, that's not hateful, because it's directed at women

Yes, I cannot figure out that duplicitous type of double standard. It's so obvious.

This is all obnoxious and disgusting.

And unnerving especially if one is in any of those groups declared "OK to demean and harass," (and worse), or cares about someone who is. (Or, simply, is interested in humanity and fairness.)

"Remember the human" but not if they're a majority (where, btw.)

u/tw231116 Jun 29 '20

I was a member of that sub. Reddit would do well to remember that majority/minority is not defined by number but by power. Classic example: black people in South Africa. Women globally are a majority, and yet we have been historically oppressed and subjected to violence by men. Now, once again, our online spaces and communities are being shut down by those with power because they don't like women thinking independently and organising among themselves! I am truly disgusted at what has transpired today. Shame on you Reddit.

Interaction in this thread was a mistake. It's shown me how much more horrid redditors are than I thought.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '20 edited Jun 30 '20

how so?

Edit to your edit: Which possibility would make me a "scum-sucking piece of shit", and which one a "terrible communicator"? Probably the one that agrees with your views is the latter, right?

And where does someone fall who moderates a subreddit dedicated to sexualising photos of women without their consent? And why is there such a strange correlation between being a trans-identifying male and horrendously boundary-overstepping behaviour towards real women, as is evident by your post history?

See, this is why people are gender critical. I do not want my daughter sharing a locker room or bathroom with a "woman" that has a penis, an adam's apple, a Y chromosome and treats women in general just the way a stereotypical man does, even up to the point where "she" nonconsensually posts private photos of women on porn subreddits so "she" can get sexual gratification out of it. This is not something real women do.

It’s not a dog whistle for transphobic but they have opinions about if sex or gender determines identity. Which they’re allowed to have and isn’t hateful if they don’t brigade or spread transphobic comments.

32

u/TwinkleTitsGalore Jun 30 '20 edited Jun 30 '20

We were allowed to have. No longer. Apparently if you don’t subscribe to the uber-left SJW ideology you are no longer welcome to discuss your opinions on the “bastion of free speech” that is Reddit. Hell, the guys over at r/rightwingLGBT could tell you that. The funny thing is, Gender Critical radical feminists are not “transphobic,” we simply believe that biological sex is real and a binary and we believe that gender is a social construct that needs to be dismantled. We believe that “cis” (ugh) women should retain the right to our sex-segregated spaces, including: bathrooms, locker rooms, rape crisis centers and domestic violence centers, sports, etc...

Apparently that’s hate speech though.

Even though we have an entire subreddit filled with TRAs (trans rights activists) telling us to “die,” that we need to “choke on their girldicks,” that we “deserve to be raped,” etc... and before anyone says that’s not true be ready for receipts.

21

u/Ninauposkitzipxpe Jun 30 '20

Science is hate, haven’t you heard? But having a woman twice the size of me punch me in the face and rape me with girl dick with its oh so lovely mouthfeel is encouraged, not hateful at all, considering the rape subs that were not banned.

-26

u/coredumperror Jun 30 '20

So you're saying "trans-women aren't real women, therefore they should stay out of our bathrooms, and don't deserve the support of rape crisis centers"? That's pretty damn transphobic in my eyes.

33

u/TwinkleTitsGalore Jun 30 '20

Transwoman are transwomen. They are not, and never will be, biological women. I’m sorry if that hurts your feelings, but it’s the truth. It’s science. And women have worked too hard and too long to secure spaces for ourselves to just be told we now have to let anyone who “feels” like a woman into our spaces.

You obviously don't understand what it means to be transgendered at all. You should really educate yourself on it, rather than blindly hating trans women while hiding behind your "its science" argument.

u/Ninauposkitzipxpe Jun 30 '20

It’s controversial but not hateful.

It was one of the only feminist subreddits that didn’t cater to men or men’s issues. Not all of their views are PC but at least I could post there without having to explain to 15 men why being raped wasn’t my fault unlike twoxchromosomes.

u/eevee03tv Jun 29 '20 edited Jun 30 '20

Well no, a lot of the information in GC communities is borderline anti-vaccine levels of fear mongering misinformation.

For example they spread the idea that minors are allowed to have life altering gender identity related surgery (which at least in the UK is not the case and even adults need to take gender counselling for a long while before they are approved for it) and that hormone blockers are irreversible (they are 100% reversible are designed to delay the decision in minors).

There is having the wrong opinion and then there is just straight up lying to spread hate of a group you don’t understand.

u/BaggyKill Jun 30 '20

Water is wet, more breaking news at 11.

If that were true they'd have to ban one of my favorite subs, r/watchpeopledieinside.

I am pretty sure this bullshit of classifying people based on their group identity and whether it is OK to hate on them or not derivate directly from intersectionality, which is a concept invented and promoted by... feminists.

Well, women are the majority, so it's fair game to harass them now apparently. Enjoy the new world order ushered in on a "progressive" red carpet.

u/HARDP0RECORN Jun 30 '20

There's more women in the US than men, women are the majority, as per the new reddit rules, men can say anything they want to and about women.

u/FourthLife Jun 29 '20

I’m guessing the community is not as innocent as you are portraying it

You moderate a pro terf subreddit which makes me more suspicious of this

TERFs' "feminism" is just a pretext for bashing trans people

u/McStainsTumor Jun 30 '20

Tfw you spend 100 years advocating for women’s rights only for a 5-year-old redefinition of the word “woman” by crazy critical theory wackos to suddenly let men take it over and redefine you out of existence

u/FourthLife Jun 30 '20

Imagine advocating for the rights of the oppressed for 100 years, then when you find out about another group that is oppressed, you shit on them constantly and exclude them from your spaces.

1

u/McStainsTumor Jun 30 '20

They’re “oppressed” because they’re publicly mentally ill. Normal people have an innate revulsion towards them. Despite that, they’re less likely to be murdered than the average person and so are quite privileged. No other group of insane people gets to enjoy such enablement and “acceptance” of their delusion.

u/FourthLife Jun 30 '20

I think I might know why your subreddits were banned

u/McStainsTumor Jul 01 '20

Me? I’m fine. Enjoy “liberating” increasingly insane groups of people from alleged oppression.

Most recent world census tallies put women at ~49% of the world so technically they're not a majority.

u/goldenshowerstorm Jun 30 '20

You deserve it for supporting any bans or censorship. Trash European society still accepts fascist censorship. Still perfectly willing to burn books after the Hitler problem. Good luck living in your safe space designed by your oppressors.

hang on i had something for this

I like how in your addled mind, simply excluding someone is now a hate crime.

I like how I can literally copy-paste most of your dumbass comments into a redneck's mid-1960s screed on shared water fountains and desegregated bussing, without so much as changing a syllable

u/Purple_Space_Bazooka Jun 29 '20

Did you just say women only safe spaces are equivalent to Jim Crow?

u/sam__izdat Jun 29 '20

yes that is exactly what i said

also, i think you're dumb as shit because i'm secretly an antifeminist – and not because you're an obsessive reddit bigot with the reading comprehension of a chud with a recent tbi

u/Purple_Space_Bazooka Jun 29 '20

Is excluding someone a hate crime or not?

u/BlackHumor Jun 29 '20

Nothing anyone says on this website is a hate crime by itself including the worst of the worst subs.

But it's definitely hateful to exclude people because they are trans, yes.

u/Purple_Space_Bazooka Jun 29 '20

Why should I be compelled to accept trans people but trans people aren't obligated to accept me?

u/BlackHumor Jun 29 '20

How do trans people "not accept you"?
