The epidemic of fake content appears in every corner of our digital world. To cope with this industrial-scale problem, the social media Reddit has recently got ready for a cutthroat battle to fight against impersonation throughout its platform. On Thursday, Reddit announced the coming of updated policies that will put any violating content in a strict execution of being banned, such as taking down accounts with false identities or deepfakes content, especially.

Reddit Bests Facebook By Rolling Out A Superior De — The ban helps raise people’s awareness indirectly ahead of the upcoming 2020 election in America.

A company’s spokesperson said in a blog that if an individual impersonates a famous journalist or controversial politician, he/she will pose a threat towards other users. The ban, in a word, helps raise people’s awareness indirectly but it could be very useful in most cases. Amidst the upcoming 2020 election, the post appears to ensure a better digital environment with “appropriate rules and processes”.

Obviously, no policy can play a heroic role without the help of supporters. In fact, Reddit calls for the help of its user community to tackle the impersonation. Users are encouraged to report a look-alike impersonation of celebrities or even themselves alongside false content. On the other hand, not all deepfakes are bad, such as satire or parodies. As a result, the company claimed that if they’re not be used maliciously, they won’t be taken down.

Excellent and professional investigative services. I hired Mr Fred for a very private and difficult matter of hacking my Wife's phone, and he far exceeded my expectations. He helped me get the info(whatsapp, facebook, text messages both deleted ones, call logs and Instagram etc) I needed faster and cheaper than I had imagined. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which he gave me all my options that he could think of to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try other options before hiring him, which shows that he is honest. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person and if you have a dishonest partner don’t hesitate to send him a mail Contact: fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com Text or call him on: +14236411452 and whatsapp him on+19782951763
