Did Reddit year-end recaps expose Russian interference in Alberta?::Online anti-LGBTQ+ harassment and engaging with small communities are documented foreign interference tactics, but they have so far not been observed in Canada.

It also suggests that Reddit has been sitting on this data showing signs of foreign interference and just didn't care to do anything about it.

Well of course they don't care unless you can make money off it!

As opposed to, I dunno, overseeing community moderation to keep making money off it's golden go--oh, they didn't make any money at all? Spent it all on executive salaries? Wow. How is Reddit still alive?

That's how much they care about moderation.

Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

This type of behavior needs to be regulated. Foreign interference isn't acceptable, and if Canada passes the online harms act then the ensuing regulator needs to handle situations like this or at least hand out massive fines for greed and indifference.

Considering they don't pay moderators, I don't think they do.
