Reddit has been fined more than £14 million (€16 million) by the UK’s information watchdog, accusing the social media giant of failing to protect children and leaving them vulnerable to “inappropriate and harmful content”.
Following an investigation, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) found that the American company neglected to implement robust age-verification tools. Reddit told Euronews Next that it intends to appeal the decision.
Instead, Reddit relied heavily on “self-declaration”—allowing users to simply state their age without further proof—a method the watchdog deems insufficient for protecting children.
“But nobody is going to think of the children!?” Says the billionaries who routinely went to a pedophile island to hurt children.
(I could use that in so many places…)
No need to fine Facebook or Twitter, they’re perfect as they are
