This now the default social media censorship tactic. Apply the TOS harshly to your opponents and loosely to your allies. When an Alt Right sub doxxes people, they get banned; when an SJW sub doxxes people, they get ignored.

Do you have a source for that? Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me

  It is a conspiracy, and one I've witnessed many times outright on /r/politics where they ignore those who solicit (both in sending/receiving) people's information via PM. That site has turned into an utter hole in the last 10 months, regardless of the fact that it was on a steady decline already. I'm not sure if it can be brought back to center where it used to be or if it's better to "nuke it from orbit."

    This looks very much like an angry, obsessive Internet rant in some kind of war. I don't find those things convincing or even worth reading. Is there something more reliable?

      If a sub banning someone for reporting members' rape threats doesn't convince you, nothing will.

        That begs the question: There is no credible evidence that anything happened, just an Internet rant. Is there something more reliable?

  Brigading is banned but SRS still exists. I hope they don't get rid of it though, it's like the find all the funniest reddit comments for me.

  Is this a serious question? It's happening everywhere. For example the famous Milo Twitter case where Milo himself got banned, but all the radical black hate groups and the actor herself who was posting tons of racist content didn't even get warning but instead tons on sympathy. I'm not a fan of alt-right, but for news and social media websites, being so disgustingly biased and trying to help the radical leftist agenda is one of the major reasons why things like Trump and Brexit happen.

    "Radical black hate groups?" Your slip is showing.

  Myself. I've been harassed by two different subs including SRS with people trying to dig up info on me for daring to post to /r/worldnews comments about global warming. Not even denying it but pointing out how climate science is mostly based on computer models. Their subreddit is purely just linking to comments they disagree with and find the most "disgusting". They can put as many disclaimers as they want but I just don't see how a subreddit that is purely there to link to comments they absolutely hate, can lead to anything but harassment.
