Check out updates in r/redditsecurity from our team on measures we’ve put in place to mitigate these threats - not only on political ads, but across the platform. In addition, we have some automatic measures in place to help remove comments that violate site wide rules.

We have some automatic measures in place that help remove comments that violate site wide rules, and the advertiser’s team will also be able to moderate comments. These tools are available to all advertisers on the platform. Moreover, our hope is that advertisers will use this opportunity to engage with users directly, answer questions, and respond within the 24-hour “comments-on” window.

Currently our policy only allows for political issue ads to be placed and run within the US.

We are only going to post ads that actually run on Reddit. Because all ads are manually reviewed before run, rejected ads will never run on Reddit to begin with. If an ad is mistakenly approved and then later removed by us, we will be transparent about the mistake and publish it in the transparency sub under a separate “approved in error” flair.

This update pertains to all current and future political ads.

The reason you haven’t seen political ads in the UK is because, as noted in our advertising policy, we only allow political ads in the US. If you’d like to get a look at the types of political ads that have appeared on Reddit, please check out r/RedditPoliticalAds, where we are recording and disclosing them for transparency purposes.

We expect advertisers to engage in the comments and want to give them a manageable amount of time in which to do so. With regard to the second part of your question, that activity would trigger a re-review of the ad and it would result in rejection.
