I want to make my business idea an LLC because I`ve heard that it`s the most flexible of all legal entities and it offers some protection for assets. I was wondering what the paperwork looked like, how to proceed, and how much it would cost to set up an LLC (approximate row). Reddit regularly denies subpoenas from private parties and attempts to restrict them in order to obtain subscriber or transaction information that is not accompanied by a court order. Reddit also regularly contradicts a legal process with private parties designed to expose anonymous speech online and attempts to restrict it. Reddit`s response to these requests is shown in the graph below. Note that all requests from the European Union came from Europol, with the exception of 1 from Germany (content that was not made available by the requesting country for legal reasons) and 1 from Denmark (content that was completely removed from Reddit due to content policy violations). We encourage you to report any content or conduct that you believe violates these Terms or our Content Policy. We also support responsible vulnerability reports. To report a security issue, please email security@reddit.com. Each year, Reddit produces a transparency report to inform users of the types of requests we receive from third parties who want Reddit to disclose user data or remove content from the platform. Reddit takes the privacy of its users seriously. Reddit therefore insists on compliance with procedural requirements, reviews requests and legal procedures for apparent validity and legal sufficiency, and refuses to process them if necessary.
This year, we`ll be sharing with you additional information about copyright removals, restorations, and revocations, as well as removals, for violating Reddit`s content policy and subreddit policies. This additional information not only increases transparency for our users, but also helps align Reddit with Santa Clara`s Principles of Transparency and Accountability in Content Moderation, whose goals and spirit we support as a starting point for further conversations. Reports from previous years can be found here. Disclaimer: Reasonable care has been taken in compiling the information provided in this report, however, given the volume of requests, our report may not be 100% accurate. Snoo is genderless and colorless, so the logo is malleable. [114] [117] Over the years, the Reddit logo has changed frequently for holidays and other special events. [115] Many subreddits have a custom snoo logo to represent the subreddit. [116] Redditors can also submit their own logos, which sometimes appear on the site`s homepage, or create their own custom versions of Snoo for their communities (or „subreddits“).
[115] [19] When Reddit revamped its website in April 2018, the company imposed several restrictions on how Snoo can be designed: Snoo`s head „should always look empty or neutral,“ Snoo`s eyes are orange-red, and Snoo can`t have fingers. [114] Snoo`s goal is to discover and explore humanity. [114] Reddit discussions are organized into user-created areas of interest called „subreddits.“ There are about 138,000 active subreddits out of a total of 1.2 million as of July 2018. [34] [35] Subreddit names begin with „r/“. For example, r/science is a community dedicated to discussing scientific topics, and r/television is a community dedicated to discussing television shows. Meanwhile, r/popular offers the best posts on Reddit, with the exception of NSFW communities and others that are most often filtered by users (even if they are safe for work). [22] [23] The r/all subreddit does not filter topics. [24] As stated in the Privacy Policy, Reddit attempts to notify the target user when Reddit receives legal process requesting user information, unless Reddit receives a valid non-disclosure order prohibiting us from doing so. Reddit receives various types of government requests for information about user accounts. The requests vary depending on the specific case the authorities are working on and the type of data relevant to their investigation. Requests may attempt to store user account information as part of an ongoing investigation, while officials may attempt to obtain a valid legal request to disclose user account information („retention“ requests). In certain circumstances, requests may also be for the disclosure of data („production“ requests).Law enforcement agencies may also require Reddit to promptly disclose data relating to an emergency situation where there is an imminent threat to public safety or an individual („Emergency Disclosure Requests“). On November 24, 2016, the Washington Post reported that Reddit had banned the „Pizzagate“ conspiracy panel from its website, stating that it violated its policy on posting other people`s personal information, triggering a wave of criticism from users on r/The_Donald who perceived the ban as censorship. [285] The Reddit forum r/pizzagate devoted itself to a conspiracy theory derived from the emails leaked by John Podesta, a theory that claimed that the DC. Comet Ping Pong „is at the center of a child abuse ring linked to John Podesta, Mrs. Clinton`s former campaign manager.“ [286] After the forum was banned from Reddit, the words „We don`t want a witch hunt on our site“ now appear on the old page of the Pizzagate subreddit. [286] [287] Registering an account on Reddit is free and does not require an email address. [26] [27] In addition to commenting and voting, registered users can also create their own subreddit on a topic of their choice. [28] In Reddit style, usernames begin with „u/“. Notable Redditors include, for example, u/Poem_for_your_sprog, who responds to posts on Reddit in verse,[29] u/Shitty_Watercolour, who posts paintings in response to posts,[30] u/gallowboob, with the highest karma on Reddit,[31] and you/spez, Reddit`s CEO (Steve Huffman).
In 2018, Reddit received 752 requests to retain or publish user account information from government agencies. Reddit carefully reviewed each request for compliance with legal standards and followed the procedure outlined in Reddit`s Privacy Policy. On December 18, 2014, Reddit took the unusual step of banning a subreddit, „SonyGOP,“ used to distribute pirated Sony files. [256] If Reddit receives removal requests for content that violates local law but does not violate Reddit`s content policy, Reddit may restrict the availability of that content in the country where it claims to be illegal. In 2018, Reddit received a total of 1 content removal request from a government agency in the United States. The request concerned the removal of an image and a large number of comments, including for a possible violation of a federal law. Because the government agency did not provide enough context on how the image violated the law, Reddit did not provide a valid legal process to force removal, and the request to remove the entire post as well as the comment thread seemed too broad, Reddit did not respond to the request. Those who break the rule are subject to a site-wide ban, and their contributions and even entire communities can be removed for violating the rule.
In 2017, Reddit developed its own real-time chat software for the site. [45] While some established subreddits have used third-party software to chat about their communities, the company has developed chat features that it hopes will become an integral part of Reddit. [45] Individual chat rooms were introduced in 2017 and community chat rooms for members of a particular subreddit in 2018. [45] [46] [47] Each type of legal entity has advantages and disadvantages. If circumstances change (as in the example of Malaysia Airlines, they are running out of money due to the negative publicity caused by these plane crashes), it may make sense to change the types of entities. RedditGifts is a program that redeems gifts throughout the year. [207] The fan-created RedditGifts website was created in 2009 for a secret Santa Claus exchange between Reddit users, which has since become the largest in the world[208] and set a Guinness World Record. [209] In 2009, 4,500 Redditors participated. [208] For the 2010 holiday season, 92 countries participated in Santa`s secret program.
