If private message content is being moderated, it is not private.

I believe that's why some platforms have started using "Direct Message" (i.e. "DM me") instead of the older Private Message terminology.

Moderators cannot see private message content.

Moderators cannot see private message content.

Maybe ordinary mods but Reddit employees?

Some Reddit employees certainly can see message content. This shows up in /r/redditrequest . Some times the system will flag a request for manual review. In that case, the following message is in the request:

> Thanks for submitting this request! It’s been flagged for manual review (not a bad thing!). This might delay a decision by a couple weeks. In the meantime, please politely message the moderators of r/whatever and reply to this comment with a link to that message. Only you, the mods of r/whatever, and some admins will be able to view the message content. Including a link to this message will help speed the process along.
