BREAKING: Reddit, $RDDT, is going to start requiring users to log in. Reddit is becoming a ‘logged-in-only experience,’ says CEO Steve Huffman

That’s probably best practice security-wise. Between all the linked accounts, constant data tracking, and inevitable data breaches, it might be less tinfoil hat and more responsible these days to partition your accounts and data. Snapchat AI will automatically read your chats and report you to police using your GPS, General Motors of all companies…
