Change Summary
The detected change is a technical modification to Reddit's user agreement page infrastructure, specifically an update to a bot-verification script token. This is not a substantive change to the terms of service itself, but rather a backend security update to the page that serves the agreement. No material rights, obligations, or consumer protections were altered.
