Updated: [falahcoin_post_modified_date]

A bug on Reddit is causing slurs to be added to the platform’s URLs, leading to these inappropriate links occasionally appearing prominently on Google search results. The bug involves subdomains with unexpected characters and slurs before the usual reddit.com domain. Although the additional characters are present, the links still direct users to Reddit. Reddit users have noticed this issue, and a site search on Google reveals numerous links from various subreddits containing the inappropriate subdomain. It is important to note that the slur does not appear on every Reddit-related search query. Reddit has acknowledged the bug and confirmed that they are working with their partners to address and fix the issue. Google has also commented on the matter, stating that they aim to prevent the occurrence of this issue on their search platform.
