Reddit's former CEO slams Reddit for 'amplifying hate, racism and violence'

On Monday, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman posted an open letter to employees, saying that the company does "not tolerate hate, racism and violence," and that its "values are clear."

But Ellen Pao, who was an interim CEO of Reddit in 2014, has something to say about that.

"I am obligated to call you out: You should have shut down the_donald instead of amplifying it and its hate, racism, and violence. So much of what is happening now lies at your feet. You don't get to say BLM when reddit nurtures and monetizes white supremacy and hate all day long," she tweeted on Tuesday.
