5 days agoReddit pulls advertising from conspiracy theory threads in wake of 'pizzagate' shooting
Reddit has moved to pull the plug on advertising for its popular conspiracy theory page, in which members engage in discussions around 'unsolved mysteries', after adding the popular section to its 'no ads list'. The decision was prompted after a gunman opened fire in a pizza restaurant named on the subreddit as part of a false conspiracy story propagated - which contended that the Washington DC pizza restaurant was the hub of a child sex ring operated by former Hilary Clinton chairman John Podesta.
