Reddit adopts anti-harassment policy; Pao says it is 'not a free-speech platform'

On June 10, 2015, Reddit announced an anti-harassment policy and banned five communities (including r/fatpeoplehate) for fostering off-site harassment. Interim CEO Ellen Pao stated it was not the site's goal to be a 'completely free-speech platform,' signaling a decisive shift toward user-safety-based moderation.
