  1. **BACKGROUND**
  2.  
  3. Reddit Inc. A Califorinia company, employs a CEO named Ellen Pao who currently discriminates against men and people who lack "diverse" characteristics.[1](http://marker.to/ctF6IP) She has brought in well-known Silicon Valley diversity consultant Freada Kapor Klein to advise the company, however Freada runs organizations whose almost entire purpose is to violate discrimination law. [2](http://marker.to/v3S0J7) [3](http://marker.to/WsEcxH) [4](http://marker.to/SBsdjn) [5](http://marker.to/fBFC2K) She knowingly did so while at the same time pursuing and losing a discrimination case in California Superior Court in Pao v. Perkins, using a similar line of reasoning that the discrimination law requires equality of outcomes instead of equality of opportunity [6](http://marker.to/btEtc4). Similarly Reddit co-founder and board of director Alexis Ohanian himself seems to pursue gender discrimination [7](http://marker.to/8hREug) [8](http://marker.to/cS5LLn), he came back to the company along with Ellen Pao when reddit CEO Yishan Wong resigned [9](http://marker.to/ym7sgp), and has since accused the websites community of being misogynistic. [10](http://marker.to/LTzF0o) In response to the criticism that has been levied against Ellen Pao,[11](http://marker.to/qNyYWU) the company banned speech criticizing against morbidly obese people for unhealthy lifestyles,[12](http://marker.to/VoCfiw) in addition to banning users levying criticism of its CEO in response to company censorship.[13](http://marker.to/nZ2dzw)

  5. **PLEADING**
  6.  
  7. I applied at a position right before submitting this complaint [14](http://marker.to/sbhVRw), and have been a member of the reddit community for 2 years [15](https://archive.is/gOrOd), and my posts were among the ones deleted here [16](https://archive.is/3o3im). I am seeking an immediate injunction from further targeted censorship, shaddowbanning, and hiring discrimination, and a special investigator be assigned to investigate these claims, and to have these charges be brought to before the court by the state on behalf of Reddit users and employees. I base this on a good faith belief that the accused is violating title vii of the Civil Rights Act [17](http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/titlevii.cfm) for employment discrimination, in addition to violating the Unruh Civil Rights Act by arbitrarily discriminating against a people based on "defining characteristics", [18](http://marker.to/qQsxbW) [19](http://marker.to/LWdryi) in a place of public accommodation that refers to itself as "the front page of the internet" [20](http://marker.to/vtyuJ5) [21](https://archive.is/dlYeG) [22](http://marker.to/OujnNv). I believe they know our ought to know they are in violation due of the law, and that they would rather disregard what the law and the judgement of a jury of their peers [23](https://archive.is/psuHW) [24](https://archive.is/9HRc0). Moreover there is tangental evidence that Alexis Ohanian had undue influence in the discrimination of his competitors on a crowdfunding platform named Patroon he is an investor in.
