LOS ANGELES The online forum Reddit one of the world’s most popular social media sites, with 430 million monthly visitors has no plans to ban porn, according to the company’s CEO Steve Huffman. The declaration by Huffman, made during an interview with Axios on HBO, sets Reddit apart from many other social media platforms, and defies a global trend toward banning adult content online.
In the interview, Huffman added that Reddit does not want to see “exploitative” porn on its forums. But there s another aspect that s empowering. And these are people sharing stories of themselves, pictures of themselves. And we are perfectly supportive of that,” Huffman said.
