The popcorn communities that are following this have found some great results in reaction to this. Frustrated with the inaction of the admins some redditors proceeded to make /r/ivermectin into a NSFW subreddit by posting drawn sexual content involving horses: https://old.reddit.com/r/TopMindsOfReddit/comments/pfb2kr/chaos_reigns_in_rivermectin_as_users_brigade_the/ https://old.reddit.com/r/TopMindsOfReddit/comments/pfb2kr/ch... Meanwhile last night there are accusations being pushed by both sides about pedophilia: https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/pfmbjf/rnonewnormal_takes_misinformation_to_a_whole_new/ https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/pfmbjf/rnon... It's hilarious and sad, and while it may be technically censorship, IMO the people calling for the removal of Covid misinformation and the subreddits spreading it have just as much right to do so as I have to boo and heckle a performing artist.

An update, the main sub pushing the misinformation, r/NoNewNormal was just banned and r/Ivermectin is under quarantine.

They certainly have a right to do so, but since reddit complied, it is censorship. There is the usual talk about how companies aren't bound to the first amendment. If you only adhere to it because you are compelled by law you fail the most basic levels of literacy on that topic. This doesn't mean you are not allowed to oppose the opinions uttered in that subs at all. But its prominency is mainly caused by tantrums like this in the first place. This is destructive in many way and reddit does promote actors far worse than people believing misinformation.

  Did I say it wasn't censorship or something? The destruction was happening. When you have a drunk person at the party shitting on the table kicking them out is the unfortunate reality.
