I heavily doubt they would have deplatformed and I don't think there ever was a pandemic of CSAM on reddit. This is a mischaracterization usually the argument to enact greater control. Could be that reddit did indeed have no choice here, there was a media campaign against more open platforms. The situation is indeed tenable if platforms just do not cooperate with external pressure of content moderation. There are such platforms and they still operate today.
