My bad, I was arguing about the Youtube ban. As for reddit, they kept T_D along, but subs like that regularly leak out and brigade other subs, which is why they were banned. Not for the information they share. Also, many of the comment sections devolved into doxxing and treats, which is also against global rules. Reddit generally doesn't give a shit about how true or false the opinions are in a sub as long as they don't break global rules and leak to other subs.
So no, they were not banned for "sweeping opinions you don't agree with" either.
I agree with others about radicalization and slowing the spread of misinformation but it's a fine line to walk and throwing around reddits bullshit like it will work for real life scenarios isnt going to help anything.
Deplatforming legitimizes and empowers fringe groups and that's not something we need to be doing.
As for your rants about trump etc I agree they just had no basis in my and parents arguments.
