"Over the years, the site has been condemned by critics because users have shared inappropriate images and content that has included hate speech against particular groups. Reddit users have posted pictures of dead children. Moreover, people are often harassed for who they are based on their religion or their ethnicity. For example, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that tracks hate groups, at least 46 active subreddits are devoted to white supremacy, the racist idea that white people are superior to all other races."
