Who does Section 230 protect? Users, moderators, and entire communities—not just platforms. Our interview with Reddit’s Chief Legal Officer explains how it works. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/internet-still-works-reddit-empowers-community-moderation
The Internet Still Works: Reddit Empowers Community Moderation
Reddit is one of the largest user-generated content platforms on the internet, built around thousands of independent communities known as subreddits. Some subreddits cover everyday interests, while others host discussions about specialized or controversial topics. These communities are created and moderated by volunteers, and the site’s decentralized model means that Reddit hosts a vast range of user speech without relying on centralized editorial control.
