A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter

What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?

You give it to whoever asks for it or you never get another source again.

This isn’t a “source”. This is a corporate spokesperson

Even though it's a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn't have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it...

Untrue. Reddit employees doing what their bosses tell them to are justifiably afraid of the blowback. Reminds me of the directive to not wear Reddit branding with the 3rd party app thing These folks don't want targets on their back.
