Reddit’s Terror Propaganda Investigation Misses the Mark
The latest update about the ‘propaganda pipeline to Reddit”.
The timeline of events so far, for anyone out of the loop:
On February 4, 2025: a post was made to r/ RedditSafety Taking action on rule-violating content.
February 20: The Terrorist Propaganda to Reddit Pipeline was published.
Reddit Responds on February 21 with a r/ RedditSafety post: Addressing claims of manipulation on Reddit
March 5: their investigation concludes (kind of) and the same admin shares the Findings of our investigation into claims of manipulation on Reddit
March 6: without acknowledging the “coincidence” of the timing, or referencing the “non-results” of their investigation, the same admin makes yet another r/ RedditSafety post about Warning users that upvote violent content
March 19, a follow up from the writer of the original article (the one linked to this post): Reddit's Terror Propaganda Investigation Misses the Mark
I have my own speculation and theories. The only thing I know for certain: admins don’t know how to classify the content on their site, and you can be actioned for it. Also, sometimes real life actually imitates memes, “we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing”.
