Reddit on Monday banned a prominent pro-Trump subreddit as part of a crackdown on hate speech under a new policy that instructs users to first “remember the human.”The aggregation and discussion website took down nearly 2,000 subreddits — many of which were inactive — based on the rules. But it also discontinued two fairly prominent boards: r/ChapoTrapHouse, and r/The_Donald. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman specifically pointed to Rules 1, 2 and 8 of the new content policy as informing Reddit’s action against r/The_Donald. The decision comes as Reddit faces a reckoning for hosting hate speech. You don’t get to say BLM when reddit nurtures and monetises white supremacy and hate all day long.”
