Reddit has released its first transparency report, revealing that the link-sharing website received only 55 requests for user data in 2014.
According to Mashable, the report reveals that Reddit, which boasts more than 174 million users, turned over data for only 32 (58pc) of those requests.
The figure seems irrelevant when compared to that of Google and Facebook , which received 32,000 and 35,000 similar requests, respectively
The company said in its report: “At Reddit, we believe transparency about our privacy practices encourages trust and more user expression.”
Meanwhile, the company reportedly received 218 requests in 2014 to remove content from the site, out of which, 176 of those were copyright takedown requests, 9 involved trademarks and 33 were for “other” unspecified reasons.
Reddit complied with just 31 percent of the total removal requests, the report added. (ANI)
