What changed
In February 2015, following 'The Fappening' leak of stolen celebrity images, Reddit announced a privacy-policy change prohibiting sexually explicit photos, video, or images of a person posted without their consent, effective March 10, 2015. Depicted individuals could request removal directly from admins without filing DMCA claims.
