Reddit and its millions of users have been active supporters of net neutrality. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman explains what happens now that the FCC has voted to repeal the regulations. Huffman says Reddit is still hopeful that net neutrality will remain, either due to the courts or a last-minute save by Congress. If net neutrality is, in fact, repealed, then Huffman says Reddit will reassess its situation at that time. Huffman also shares a look at Reddit's Best of 2017. It was Reddit's biggest year ever. Users made more than 900,000,000 comments and 7,000,000 thread updates. Bill Gates had the most popular Ask Me Anything (AMA) of the year. Huffman says Gates' annual AMA is always a big draw, but his favorites are AMAs with people who aren't well-known celebrities.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days.

Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
