Reddit confirms TechCrunch's scoop that it raised $150M from Tencent & $150M more from past investors in a $300M Series D at a $3B post-$ valuation https://t.co/1fTFiSbmax

You don't really need $300M to run Reddit, but that's the point. When you add $300M to any company, it stops being that company, and becomes a new one.

Giving Reddit a bunch of money so it can get even bigger can't possibly have any unpleasant side-effects. https://t.co/kSDOnPz6ok

Reddit confirmed it received $150 million from Tencent. Fearing potential internet censorship later down the line from the Chinese tech giant, Redditors are posting subversive memes in protest: https://t.co/ah3EwIWphB

My guess is that Tencent won't get involved in policing content on Reddit, but censorship on Reddit is in fact already much more pervasive than it was just a few years ago https://t.co/Bl1B27291e

With Reddit investment, Tencent's upping its presence in U.S. social media co.s, even though they're blocked in China. It owns ~15% of Snap & is its biggest shareholder. I wonder if Tencent had to go through CFIUS approval for this investment. https://t.co/zzMo3PDB9N @JBoorstin
