    I wonder if it occurs to you that Reddit cannot violate free speech but that the federal government, which can violate free speech, would be doing such by shutting down reddit.

    Liberally biased censorship is the problem. Freedom of speech applies to all, not just to the radical left.

    It calls itself a 'business', but operates exclusively in the public share. As I said in a separate, but similar form it's absolutely hypocritical that we want to say 'the government cannot censor', but we citizens can censor each other's views just fine, or punitively punish others for said views, if we dub them as 'hate speech'(or some variation thereof.)

    America has failed to defend democracy, I agree with Liberals just for the exact opposite reasons however.

    It's not difficult at all to find memes that expose the Democratic Party, Leftists, and BLM.

    ... a person could go all day without reddit. In fact, I never use the site.

    We get it. You've made your point.:bored:

    In fact, everybody got it 4 Posts Ago.

    From where I sit, these "contributions" don't seem to be furthering discussion of the Topic.

    In any event, back ON-Topic:

    I fully support Reddit's Decision and I hope the Entirety of Social Media keeps cracking down on these HATE Groups (supported by Trump).

    Since when is Reddit "the media"? You're painting with an awfully broad brush there, fella.

    As this post indicates, white privilege is, in part, the privilege of being clueless about what it is like to be a victim of racism.

    No, we've been lectured a lot during the past 12 years, 8 of which under the Obama Administration. Racism is now defined as targeting a democrat's political enemies.

    These sites are being so dumb. They are turning themselves into pg network TV. A model that totally failed. People don't want that and these sites will go through the same cycle that network TV and radio went through, being replaced by something better.

    Lol...you don’t get it. The whole world has a so-called liberal bias. It’s because the reactionary mentality is incapable of dealing with the challenges of change in life.
    Always pining for the good ole days is not a viable ideology.

    People are getting tired of his constant rhetoric complaining about others. He is POTUS, needs to act like one.
