I find it odd that they don't mention the data breach that happened in 2018. [0] You would think this would be the place to disclose this and their response in perpetuity as opposed to a reddit thread.

"Every year, Reddit produces a Transparency Report to provide users with information about the types of requests that we receive from third parties that want Reddit to disclose user data or remove content from the platform."


well, it was a third party, they probably sent some sort of request to reddit, and they certainly wanted some user data :)


I just feel like with the existence of government backed black hats, disclosing a large data breach would fit in nicely here since they haven't ruled out any state actors.


Despite the generic term in name, "Transparency report" generally (i.e. not limited to Reddit) means a very specific thing: report on data/removal requests from 3rd party (usually governments).
