Frequently asked questions

Can Reddit ignore a TAKE IT DOWN Act notice?

No. Reddit has 10 million or more monthly US active users and is a covered platform under the TAKE IT DOWN Act. Ignoring a compliant 223a notice exposes Reddit to federal civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation per day.

What if a Reddit moderator refuses to remove the post?

The TAKE IT DOWN Act obligation falls on Reddit as the platform operator, not individual subreddit moderators. Reddit's central trust and safety team is responsible for compliance.
