Also today: Six months after the discussion site banned r/The_Donald, a notoriously noxious subreddit dedicated to Donald Trump, the company moved to boot its likewise rotten sibling. Source Reddit bans subreddit group "r/DonaldTrump" "Reddit has banned the subreddit group "r/DonaldTrump," a spokesperson confirmed to Axios. Why it matters: While not an official group or page hosted by the president, it's one of the company's largest political communities dedicated to support for President Trump. What they're saying: "Reddit's site-wide policies prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed," a spokesperson tells Axios. "We have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the U.S. Capitol.” "
I guess what some companies are saying: you come at our democracy, you best not miss. Or maybe I’m just verklempt today.
