    No but they did ban a whole subreddit (WatchPeopleDie) dedicated to footage of people dying back in 2018 after they dared to show footage of the Christchurch mass shooting - without any prior admin warning whatsoever.

    And honestly Reddit were a bunch of hypocrites for how they handled that situation, especially since WPD had tonnes of uncut ISIS execution videos hosted on their subreddit a few years back and nobody on the board gave a shit.

        Yes absolutely, they let some ghoulish subs stay up for a very long time until a news piece would be written about it. Like r/cutedeadgirls, r/jailbait, and r/fatpeoplehate
