""If we need to verify an account is human, we'll do it in a privacy-first way. Our aim is to confirm there is a person behind the account, not who that person is.""
""The goal is to increase transparency of what is what on Reddit while preserving the anonymity that makes Reddit unique. You shouldn't have to sacrifice one for the other.""
Reddit is taking steps to combat the issue of bots on its platform by labeling automated accounts and requiring verification for suspected bots. This verification will not be sitewide but based on specific indicators of non-human activity. Reddit will utilize third-party tools for verification, including biometric services and government IDs in certain regions. The aim is to ensure transparency while preserving user anonymity. The changes are a response to the increasing prevalence of bots on social platforms.
