Reddit has said that documents containing confidential details of discussions between the US and UK about a post-Brexit trade deal were likely leaked onto the platform by Russia. The platform said it was banning one subreddit and 61 accounts after it uncovered a pattern of activity indicating links to Secondary Infektion, a vast Russian disinformation and influence campaign recently uncovered on Facebook.

The front page of the internet has a lot more money in the bank, with Reddit confirming $50 million in new funding.

Several weeks ago, I wrote about the birth and subsequent charity efforts of the Fappening, Reddit’s newly created subreddit (which later became multiple subreddits) devoted to housing celebrity nudes.
