Didn’t she ban a lot of subreddits?
From all the subreddits that were closed, I’d be hard-pressed to name one that I felt contributed to free speech.
She is correct in her tweet, however.
Also once upon a time reddit praised itself for free speech. It held itself to a higher standard... supposedly.
As in US Constitution free speech? I can think of dozens.
r/SanctionedSuicide
r/DarknetMarkets
r/shoplifting
r/gore
r/watchpeopledie
However, it seems to me that free speech is intended to protect the expression of unpopular viewpoints. In that case, I think that we should protect people's right to advocate that suicide, shoplifting, or advocating watching people die should be legal.
However, as long as those things are not legal then it doesn't necessarily violate free speech to restrict the practices themselves or information on how to engage in the practices.
They are a US based website subject to those laws, even if those words posted on their site didn't violate laws, it's entirely legal for them to censor at will for any reason they deem ok.
What does it mean to "contribute to" free speech?
