Kleiner Perkins has denied the allegations. Anyone who wants an image of themselves removed from the site can email which was spun off from Conde Nast's Wired Digital in 2012, announced its new policy on the opening day of a high-profile trial airing Pao's allegations that she was a victim of sexual discrimination while working as a junior partner at one of Silicon Valley's best-known venture capital firms, Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers. She likened the unauthorized use of photos of her body as a "sex crime."Ī Tuesday posting signed by Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao and other company executives said the shift is an effort to help grow the site "for the next 10 years and beyond." Effective March 10, Reddit will prohibit any photograph, video or digital image of a person who is nude or engaged in a sexual act if the subject hasn't given permission for it to be used. Without specifically calling out Reddit or Twitter, Lawrence lashed out at the sites that permitted nude photos to be posted of her. The change comes about six months after hackers obtained nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities and posted them to social media sites including Reddit and Twitter.
Until now, Reddit has had a hands-off approach to privacy, largely allowing its 160 million users to police their own forums within certain guidelines such as no child pornography or spam. The lax approach has opened the door for nude and sexually explicit photos and video to be posted on Reddit and Blogger, even if the subjects featured in the images intended them to remain private. The crackdown marks a shift in attitude for two services that have traditionally been freewheeling forums where users could literally let it all hang out.

Google Inc., the Internet's most powerful company, is going to ban most nude photos and video from publicly accessible sites on its popular Blogger service. Social-networking and news site Reddit says it will remove photos, videos and links with explicit content if the person in the image hasn't given permission for it to be posted. Reddit and Google are taking a tougher stance against nudity to prevent their services from turning into online peep shows.
