Reddit accounts with ‘fishy’ bot-like behavior will soon need to prove they’re human

Reddit is implementing bot detection measures that require users with 'suspicious behavior' to verify their humanity through biometric scanning (fingerprints) or ID submission. This creates a surveillance apparatus where algorithmic judgment of 'fishy behavior' can force users into invasive identity verification, raising concerns about privacy, false positives, and the normalization of biometric surveillance on social platforms.
