It has been said repeatedly, the only speech that requires protection is the unpopular type. Mark Twain is quoted as saying, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes".
Any form of censorship is tyranny but on Reddit and other similar platforms, anonymous mechanized tyrannical censorship is deployed under the guise of "keeping communities safe". Safe from what? Words? On social media, lying and spreading dangerous disinformation is permitted like in the case of traitorous criminals such as Trump and his mob. If you respond with honest anger to a liar by telling the truth or telling them you'd like to slam your fist down their lie hole you will be silenced by the thought and feelings police. Their justification for silencing you will be, a false charge of inciting violence or the catch-all accusation of "hate speech" Meanwhile, the lying by Trump and his flying monkeys continues. Jack Dorsey, Twitter's top weasel, has allowed Trump to tweet dangerous disinformation and actually incite violence that resulted in deaths of Americans from the spread of COVID-19 and at the hands of his disciples. Instead of banning Trump, his MAGAts, and bootlickers for their constant lies and rule breaking, Dorsey turned a blind eye to it. Only recently did Twitter place a caveat on Trump's and other Republican's lie filled tweets.
Steve Huffman's Reddit with its anonymous censor bots is a magnet for liars, Russian propagandists, censors, agenda trolls, echo chambers and various other liars.
Traitorous criminal Mark Zuckerberg profited by selling ads to Putin's disinformation campaign to destroy Western democracy. Then he lied to congress about it.
Trump, Zuckerberg, Huffman, Dorsey and their mob members should be treated like the enemies that they are.
The only speech that requires banning is dishonest speech. As for the snowflakes who feign offence so that they can express their phony moral outrage, they have an ignore button.
