A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter

What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?

You give it to whoever asks for it or you never get another source again.

This isn’t a “source”. This is a corporate spokesperson

Was this corporate spokesperson authorized to talk to this outlet about this topic? Just because they're a spokesperson doesn't mean they can talk freely.

Yes, that’s what a spokesperson is. Did you read the article? If it was a leak that would have been stated.

That’s not what they do according to their own ethics statement
