> "In a sense, Reddit has made these users (from banned subreddits) someone else’s problem. To be clear, from a macro persepctive, Reddit’s actions likely did not make the internet safer or less hateful. One possible interpretation, given the evidence at hand, is that the ban drove the users from these banned subreddits to darker corners of the internet."

Could these groups now become seriously dangerous when they convene and discuss in the shadows?

When you ban speech, you don't convince people they were wrong. If anything, you convince them they're right.

The only thing censorship achieves is sweeping problems under the rug and pretending they've been solved.
