‘We know we have more work to do’

In response to the BBC’S Panorama investigation, a spokesperson for Reddit said it took the issue ‘very seriously’ and had removed 88,000 non-consensual sexual images.

The platform said it had ‘strict policies against non-consensual intimate media, as well as dedicated safety teams that use a combination of automated tooling and human review to find and remove this kind of content’.

The spokesperson added, ‘We know we have more work to do to prevent, detect and action this content even more quickly and accurately, and we are investing now in our team, tools and processes to achieve this goal.’
