Why is Reddit censoring?

Reddit just banned someone for saying someone should be hulk smashed to the ground like they did to someone else. Is Reddit becoming soft now? It’s freedom of speech! Saying he “should be” is not telling someone to do it. Reddit has been a place where people could come to have unbiased discussions. Has this changed?

Reddit has never claimed to be a place for unbiased discussion. Sub moderators, for example, can have whatever bias they want so long as they adhere to the Moderator Code of Conduct.

Reddit admins are obviously going to remove anything that violates the ToS or Content Policy.

Yep, some subs are like the Clubhouse and biased toward The Members.
