Reddit adds two-factor authentication for everyone
Reddit has officially launched two-factor authentication after beta testers and moderators took the feature for a spin. Sure, this is Reddit we're talking about -- you've probably never used your real name or credit card (unless you bought Reddit gold with your card) and never mentioned your bank and SS info on the site. But if you've posted anything controversial or simply just want to protect yourself from potential doxxers and stalkers, you can switch on the feature by going to the password/email tab under Preferences on Reddit's desktop version.

The social network has introduced new tools for its advertisers that rely on your location and the activities you do on your phone. If you've given the Facebook app permission to track your whereabouts, it'll allow select businesses to target you if you've recently been to one of their brick-and-mortar locations. Say, you visit Dick's Sporting Goods, one of the company's partner businesses -- don't freak out when you see its ads on your page.
