After Google, Reddit Bans Posting Nude Pics Without Consent

Reddit will ban sexually explicit photographs posted without consent, the company said today. The changes, in response to last year's celebrity hack, will go on effect from March 10.

"No matter who you are, if a photograph, video, or digital image of you in a state of nudity, sexual excitement, or engaged in any act of sexual conduct, is posted or linked to on Reddit without your permission, it is prohibited on Reddit," the company said today.

The social networking service and news website added that it will also remove "violent personalized images" when notified of their existence.

In case users find an inappropriate photo, they can notify Reddit via contact@reddit.com.

Reddit is also planning tutorials for moderators that "will help anyone from experienced moderators to total neophytes learn how to most effectively use our tools."
