Reddit, Acting Against Hate Speech, Bans ‘The_Donald’ Subreddit

[Dave]

SAN FRANCISCO — Reddit, one of the largest social networking and message board websites, on Monday banned its biggest community devoted to President Trump as part of an overhaul of its hate speech policies.

The community or “subreddit,” called “The_Donald,” is home to more than 790,000 users who post memes, viral videos and supportive messages about Mr. Trump. Reddit executives said the group, which has been highly influential in cultivating and stoking Mr. Trump’s online base, had consistently broken its rules by allowing people to target and harass others with hate speech.

Any fool that sprouts shit like .................

Together we built the greatest economy in history — and, literally, in the history of the world. Greatest we’ve ever had. The greatest the world has ever seen. And now we have to bring it back because we had to close in order to save millions of lives.

................. deserves to be called a troll.

Agree with you there. three completely different meanings to the words suspended, closed and deleted.

Well, YouTube describe it as closed, but as all of his videos have been deleted from Youtube it's also accurate to say its deleted .

There is no such thing as hate speech; only speech you don't like.
