Reddit bans hate speech
On June 29, 2020, Reddit, a popular social forum platform that had been a haven for virulent misogynists and racists, announced an overhaul of its hate speech policy and closed “The Donald,” a forum for Trump supporters, and 2,000 other subreddit groups engaged in hate speech.
Tens of thousands of UltraViolet members signed the petition demanding change, and UltraViolet, as part of the Change the Terms coalition, met with Reddit CEO Steve Huffman to help guide the policies and enforcement that will make Reddit a safer space for women, especially women of color, and make it harder for bigoted extremists to organize and harass vulnerable populations. This victory is part of UltraViolet’s ongoing work to combat disinformation and hate wherever it flourishes on social media platforms and in tech forums.
Give for survivor justice taking flight!
While Donald Trump and Pam Bondi want to change the subject, we refuse to let them off the hook for protecting predators. That’s why we're flying airplane banners to keep Trump’s ties to child sex abuser and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in the news. Epstein’s more than 1,000 survivors deserve transparency and justice. Your gift today will keep the spotlight on Trump’s and Bondi’s deflections and center survivors in the public narrative!
