Don't forget about reddit's pro-net neutrality stance as a massive hypocrisy. How can you be pro-net neutrality but also pro censorship? It's all entirely about controlling what content can be seen and to make damn sure people don't start to recognize that maybe the thoughts and feelings they have are shared among many many many others.
At some point in the past people sat on their hands and watched as corporations gained complete control over information by thinking the excuse of "they don't have to follow free speech because they are a company and not the government" was somehow acceptable. No one should ever support censorship, of any kind, at any point in time. It provides no value to the people and only promotes stupidity. It used to be assumed that if it was on the internet that you should use the concept of critical thinking before you took it as fact. Now, everything that is on the internet is taken as fact and anyone who uses critical thinking is instantly hitler.
Sadly I have a huge feeling putting this sub into quarantine is entirely because of it's unbiased reporting/posting of content and the general non-political mentality of many of the visitors. Whereas any time a police involved fatality is reported on in other subs the comments are almost entirely anti-police, usually claiming police brutality or racism etc... and of course the videos are always edited heavily to become less "violent" or "graphic". Here however the videos/content are never edited and so the full story is usually given which most times changes the tone from anti-police/brutality/racism to showcasing that there was in fact not much other choice for the officers involved than to shoot the criminal. It also probably wasn't helpful that the sub shows off how violent the rest of the world is in comparison to the US which usually hurts attempts at fear mongering. Overall this sub just went against too many required narratives to allow it to exist and so it needed to be put down. Can't have people questioning what they are being told so lets make sure they can't be told anything different.
