We are updating our Privacy Policy (effective Jan 1, 2016)

Have some gold, friend.

We collect information about how all visitors browse the site to make reddit better. We remove personally identifiable data from this information after 90 days.

This was a statement in the old policy I never liked because it's vague as to what is actually personally identifiable. Basically what it meant is that we delete our access logs after 90 days, which we will continue to do (but after 100 days).

spez · 18日前

We're still not selling or giving access to individual user data. That is important to us, and we state in the privacy we won't do this. ("This means that Reddit does not share your individual account browsing habits with advertisers.")

We would like to allow advertisers to target on more than just communities, however. For example, targeting based on keywords will be helpful–there is a lot gaming content on Reddit outside of communities dedicate specifically to gaming.

Presently, Google, but these things come and go. One of the reasons I like DNT is a user can set it once and not worry about it.

spez · 18日前

That's correct.

spez · 18日前

Right, we only see what's given to us. Personal responsibility is important in all of this.

One of our responsibilities is to educate users on what control they actually have, which is quite a bit.

Loving it. I get to work on challenging and meaningful things with great people.

And, if anyone would like to join us, we're hiring: https://www.reddit.com/jobs

Thank you!

We can't tell when you're in private mode. All we see is a user that shows up once and never comes back.

spez · 18日前

We collect as little as possible to run the site; we share as little with advertisers as possible (specifically, we do not share individual browsing habits); and we want you to understand what you have control over (almost everything).

There's no point in hashing IP addresses -- it's such a small search space, an attacker would be able to reverse the hash in hours.

Our thinking is to hash with a salt and throw away the salts periodically. For abuse, we mostly care about "is this IP the same?"

spez · 18日前

That's always our goal. Sometimes we may be legally prohibited from doing so, or in the case of an emergency, we may delay notice.

Turkey, cheese, lettuce (I went through a sprouts phase, but we're all have silly things in our past), mayo
It's coming along! A little slower than planned, but that's software for you.

The IP stuff has been an interesting challenge. The fewer we can store, the better for all of us.

spez · 18日前

A lot of people around here appreciate you saying that.

spez · 18日前

Of course. I like DNT. It's too bad it's not more widely supported around the web, but it fits us nicely.

spez · 18日前

I always remind people, here at the mothership, many of us wear tinfoil hats, so we're generally aligned with the community on these sorts of things.

Also, thank you u/orangejulius and u/courtiebabe420 for reading drafts of the Policy!

I've answered this a couple times here and there.

Any engineer should want to work at reddit for a variety of reasons:

You get to work on interesting problems (scaling, abuse, search, data, ML, mobile)
Your work will be seen by millions of people
Your work will affect the lives of millions on people
You get to work with smart people in a fun environment
We have really generous benefits. Full health, dental, vision. We pay for parking, gyms, daycare, and a bunch of other random stuff.

As for no negotiation, we had a similar policy at Hipmunk, and it worked well. I think my reasoning might be different from Ellen's. The reason I like it is because many people are not good at negotiating, or just don't like it. We do our best to ensure comp is fair both internally and externally. A critical part of this policy is that we always make our best offer up front. That way, if someone comes back to us and asks for more, we can say "no" with a clear conscience. I have found in practice this is almost never required.

We're in the business of getting the best people we can, not the best people for as cheap as possible.

What is your opinion on free speech today?

It's important to both our society and to Reddit, and both inside and outside of Reddit it's an incredibly complex issue. My position as it relates to Reddit is that we try to let as much go as possible because it's important to have a realistic view of the world. I believe in many ways that Reddit is the online reflection of humanity, and we want to preserve that. However, we also feel obligated to take steps to prevent real-world harm to people and to protect Reddit itself. Often, this puts us in a position of having to make some very difficult decisions.

do you agree with the statement "Subreddits should be banned if they make reddit look bad, even if they are technically legal."?

No, but the inverse isn't true either.

Does reddit thinks about adding a "nsfl" button?

Yes. That was an alternative name suggestion to quarantining, incidentally. Our work isn't done in this department.

What do you think?

Totally on board.

It just came up yesterday. We all agreed it was dumb. Stay tuned.

First, I'm sorry to hear that.

Second, it's a reasonable request. There are a variety of reasons someone might want to disassociate from content, and I'd prefer they didn't have to delete it to do so because it leaves holes in comment threads.

spez · 1ヶ月前

Yes, but it will be called "Reddit" and we're actively working on it.

We have a small presence in NYC, mostly for ad sales, though.

For the foreseeable future I want all product people (product, design, engineering) and general leadership to be in the same office. It's easier to build our culture when everyone is face-to-face.
