Reddit Announces New Content Policy; Bans Hate-Based Subreddits

Reddit has officially codified its stand against hate-speech and started enforcing the policy immediately.

Reddit has been struggling to balance open communication with the desire to eliminate harassment and hate speech on its network. Until recently, users have been left to moderate their own subreddits.

This week Reddit went a step further, by providing an official content policy defining what is and isn’t acceptable on the site.
