| Reddit ‘quarantines’ largest pro-Trump community for promoting violence |
| 2019-06-29 |
| [IsraelTimes] Social media platform says moderators of popular ’The Donald’ subreddit failed to take down posts calling to shoot Oregon police and politicians embroiled in climate change showdown. With nearly 770,00 subscribers, the subreddit is the largest pro-Trump community online. Reddit is the sixth most visited website in the United States and the 21st most visited in the world. The hugely popular platform operates like an online bulletin board, allowing users to anonymously form or join communities around shared interests, such as a sports team or hobby. Reddit uses quarantines to restrict forums that, while not prohibited, have been classified as offensive or disturbing. Other political subreddits that have been quarantined include ones called "Debate the Alt Right" and "Full Communism." A quarantine does not block or delete the forum from the site, but requires visitors to see a warning message and to explicitly opt-in to view it. |

| #1 A quarantine does not block or delete the forum from the site, but requires visitors to see a warning message and to explicitly opt-in to view it. Shouldn't that apply to all of Reddit (and Facebook and Google and Twitter and ...)? |
