It seems their dividing line is mostly related to quantity of legal issues (subreddits generating huge numbers of takedown requests, and possibly other things like subpoenas). They don't seem to care about inconvenience in more of the "politically inconvenient" sense, e.g. the neo-Nazi subforums aren't touched. I've also seen warez-heavy subreddits shut down, though one dedicated to sharing paywalled academic papers has flown under the radar.
- DanBC 12y agoThere are a bunch of self harm and thinspo subreddits that are not touched, until those subreddits start breaking other laws (collecting and distributing personal information about people under 13 for example). Watching reddit feels its way through conflicting law and Reddit "hands off" stance is interesting.
