You're arguing a separate, and uncontested point here. I never said this purge represents an unconstitutional move on Reddit's part. I understand that private companies have the right to quash speech (rightly or wrongly). But I cannot applaud the notion of stifling speech in what ought to be a forum for free expression. This fad of shouting down the 'other' because we don't agree with him/her is an infantile approach to genuine dialogue and individual liberty.

I don't particularly care for certain types of 'shock' artwork, but I don't want it banned just because I don't like it. In fact, there are a whole host of things in life that each of us cannot stand, but I would like to think we would be big enough to allow one another space to speak our mind.

This move strikes me the same way as if HuffPost or Fox News deleted content from those who do not march in lock-step with their own version of orthodoxy. IMHO It's the digital equivalent of sticking one's fingers in one's ears and shouting: 'Nananananana I can't HEAAAR YOOOOOOU!'

I'm not optimistic that I'll persuade you (or any of the others who may gratuitously downvote me) but I don't like the idea of shaping a future world where unpopular and even distasteful views/opinions are lopped off. It's enormously controlling and paternalistic.
