Reddit's Turmoil: From Protests to Hacks and Threats.

Reddit message boards, including some of its biggest, went private in protest over new app-developer fees. However, some subreddits, including r/pics, are allowing only photos of John Oliver. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said the changes were necessary to make the platform self-sustaining, but some subreddits may permanently shutter. The company also faced backlash over policy changes regarding explicit content. Non-commercial, accessibility-focused apps and tools will continue to have free access under the new rules that are set to go into effect in July.
