This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.

    Looks like reddit is using the momentum of starting sub bans as an opportunity to ban things that might land them in hot water legally or politically

    • Rule34, and anime porn is banned because r34 is based on existing copyrighted material (and so are the anime subs probably)
    • Drugs because of the “war of drugs”.
    • transgender_surgeries because the current US administration is profoundly transphobic.
