The website has no explicit rule against state-sponsored propaganda, though users who push propaganda are sometimes banned for breaking rules against spamming — or repeatedly posting links to one website or network of websites. Mostly due to infiltration by intelligence agencies stoking the fire. Feel free to leave a reply.

Even a small synagogue, the only one in the Persian Gulf region, still stands in an older part of the city. Brown and other volunteers used a combination of website identification data, called WHOIS data, and tracked similar domain-name registrars and IP addresses to determine the origins of the websites he suspected of being part of a propaganda campaign, which frequently posted fabricated news stories to Reddit. Nevertheless, traditional business models are no longer sustainable and high-quality publications, like ours, are being forced to look for new ways to keep going.

Reddit Moderators Censor Refugee Rape Stories

By Ben Collins More than a year before Facebook and Twitter announced that they had discovered a new foreign influence campaign tied to Iranian state media, a group of volunteer moderators on Reddit noticed a peculiar pattern of submissions. Some Reddit users were repeatedly posting divisive political rhetoric from a group of obscure news websites. That effort led a Reddit moderator from California named Alex Brown and a small team of volunteers to investigate. Using publicly available data about who started the news websites, they were able to find evidence of a wide-ranging propaganda network across the social news site with ties to Iran. Brown and other amateur researchers notified Reddit, but the website, the fifth-most visited in the U. On Tuesday, Facebook and Twitter announced that the websites that Brown had tracked could be traced back to Iran state media, and purged the accounts from their service. These are hard examples of literal fake news, with clear evidence pointing to the Iranian government. The two most recent messages identifying Iranian propaganda to Reddit's paid administrators came on Aug. Brown and other volunteers used a combination of website identification data, called WHOIS data, and tracked similar domain-name registrars and IP addresses to determine the origins of the websites he suspected of being part of a propaganda campaign, which frequently posted fabricated news stories to Reddit. Removing propaganda from Reddit may prove tougher than doing so on most other sites. The website has no explicit rule against state-sponsored propaganda, though users who push propaganda are sometimes banned for breaking rules against spamming — or repeatedly posting links to one website or network of websites. But the website does have volunteer moderators who run all of its communities, many of whom actively stop efforts to manipulate its system. Reddit has in recent weeks begun to delete some of the user accounts that were found to have been pushing the Iranian websites. Reddit provided a statement to NBC News about the propaganda campaigns waged on its site. A Reddit source told NBC News that it is now considering developing a program that will allow researchers like Brown, who have correctly identified targeted spam campaigns on the platform in the past, to directly communicate with site administrators. Brown's data set included the websites pulled down by Facebook this week, plus dozens of others. He said a Reddit employee reached out to him to apologize on Thursday after news of the propaganda effort led to a clean-up effort across Facebook, Twitter and Google. Josh Russell, an independent researcher who studies misinformation campaigns, found that some Reddit users pushed hundreds of posts from Iranian websites. I pulled the data for these domains on reddit. Years ago, Brown sometimes received responses for flagging the spam campaigns this way, but he had been ignored by Reddit administrators since the disinformation ramped up. As a moderator of some communities, he started noticing fake information, including fabricated quotes, posted in highly ranked news articles in some of the subreddits he oversaw. Brown worked with Russell, an Indiana-based researcher who provided news organizations with datasets over the last year to pinpoint Russian propaganda on Reddit and Twitter, in identifying some of the Iranian campaigns. Both Brown and Russell said the groups share many similarities, including smaller website-hosting providers and domain registrars, which helped them zero in on the perpetrators. Russell said he believes Reddit needs to be more proactive about foreign powers looking to use its site to wage an information war.

Reddit users, however, are becoming aware of this fact and taking steps to zip these news stories and their subsequent censorship to light. Henry Flescher, who now lives in Aventura, Florida and had not heard of the social news-sharing site Reddit before the session earlier this week, participated in the forum with the help of his grandson, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Glad. But I was relieved to see that the people who responded to this thread… kept it civil. Mostly due to infiltration by intelligence agencies stoking the fire.
