How to Remove a Defamatory Reddit Post About You
A financial advisor in Denver discovered a Reddit thread about himself on a Tuesday afternoon. A former client had written a detailed post in the city's local subreddit accusing him of embezzlement, fraud, and stealing retirement savings. None of it was true. The client had lost money in a market downturn, blamed the advisor, and decided to wage a public campaign. The Reddit post had 340 upvotes, 87 comments (many from people who had no connection to the situation but were happy to pile on), and when you Googled the advisor's name, the Reddit thread was the third result on the first page. Within a week, two prospective clients cancelled consultations, and his firm's managing partner asked him to "address the situation."
Reddit presents a unique and formidable challenge when it comes to defamation removal. It's not like Tea App, Facebook, or Instagram, where a single corporate entity controls content moderation. Reddit's structure -- thousands of semi-autonomous communities run by volunteer moderators, a corporate team that intervenes only in narrow circumstances, and an archiving culture that preserves content long after it's deleted -- makes it one of the hardest platforms to get defamatory content removed from. And because Reddit posts rank exceptionally well in Google search results, the damage from a defamatory Reddit post often exceeds what you'd experience on platforms with larger user bases.
