Reddit has banned the r/WhitePeopleTwitter subreddit for 72 hours due to user comments that allegedly called for violence against employees of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. This followed Musk's assertion that these comments were unlawful. The banning highlights a tension between Musk and Reddit users, particularly in light of recent events that led to over 100 subreddits restricting links to X in protest of Musk's actions at a rally. Reddit emphasized its rules against threats and doxing in a public statement underlining its commitment to moderation.
"Over the last few days, we've seen an increase in content in several communities that violate Reddit Rules. Debate and dissent are welcome on Reddit - threats and doxing are not."
"They have broken the law," Musk stated, sharing users' comments which he claimed were threatening towards his employees in the Department of Government Efficiency.
