""As AI becomes a bigger part of the Internet, we want to make sure that when you're on Reddit, you know when you're talking to a person and when you're not.""
""Human verification will only occur if Reddit suspects that an account is a bot. This is 'rare' and won't apply to 'most users.'""
""I think the Internet needs verification solutions like this, where your account information, usage data, and identity never mix.""
""When we are forced to do this, we design the integrations so that we never actually see your ID information, so your Reddit data cannot be tied to you.""
Reddit will require accounts exhibiting automated or suspicious behavior to verify human operation. This verification aims to prevent bots from overwhelming the platform. Human verification will be rare and only applied to suspected bot accounts. Reddit plans to use third-party tools that protect user identity. Current methods include passkeys and biometric services like iris scanning. The least preferred method involves third-party government ID services, which Reddit aims to implement without compromising user privacy.
