The popular Reddit platform has decided to restrict access to its data for all search engines except Google.

Here's What We Know

This means that it will be more difficult for users to find the information they need on Reddit through other search engines such as Bing or DuckDuckGo. The reason for this decision lies in a new agreement with Google.

Thanks to this agreement, Reddit data will be used to train Google's artificial intelligence. Reddit claims that the purpose of this step is to protect its data from misuse. Many users and experts believe that this could limit competition in the search engine market and reduce user experience.
