Reddit Is Removing Nazi and Alt-Right Groups and Some Users Are Confused

I can just imagine the outrage. "We have freedom of speech! We are protected!"

That doesn't mean people have to host you.

I don't think that's the argument. Reddit has every right NOT to host any subreddit it doesn't want to.

The question is, why ban far-right subreddits, but leave far-left subreddits intact? That's the issue.

[observation]

I notice that each time websites ban or delist far right websites, that the temperature jumps a notch, often with accompanying antisemitism on more mainstream sites or subreddits.

It's nice that Google and Reddit's staff are feeling virtuous but it is becoming harder to talk civilly than it used to be and if it doesn't stop the pro-violence extremists will become validated and nothing positive starts from there.
