I'm not going to post any particular link because the topic is too political and every source (left and right) spins things in some way that I dislike. The facts, without spin, are these: reddit banned and/or quarantined many anti-lockdown subs. Initially, they said they would not, because "Dissent is a part of Reddit and the foundation of democracy", but ultimately, they did.
