Admittedly, I left full-time in 2010 (remained an advisor and then board member when reddit when independent in 2011) but this issue of stolen nudes was something that Ellen and I discussed almost immediately after we were put together in the wake of the our CEO's departure. We at reddit have always valued privacy (and our userbase has always valued that) and we missed a chance to lead, but with new leadership in place, we as a company decided this was where we wanted to start. Our community team has done an awesome job in the last couple of months since and I hope more companies will follow. This is something we knew we needed to do in order to go from over 9000 communities on the platform to many, many more.
