They own and control the site. They're allowed to dictate the terms of use. If I ever had my own site, I'd have a long list of rules. No harassing, no spamming, no hate speech, no obscene images, on and on and on. I'm all for free speech, but I'd not allow a single bit of that on my site. Know why? Cause I don't want to have to hassle with the eventual consequences.

I don't have a problem in the slightest with Reddit banning those subreddits. If it was my company, I'd ban more subreddits than that. That's not what I'm upset with them about though. The whole place seems to have become one giant corporate shill. That's something I can't support.
