- Reddit has banned two of the largest far-right “subreddits” groups it hosts, altright and alternativeright
- two groups’ participation in what is known as “doxing”: sharing private personal information without permission as a form of online harassment
- subreddits were specifically banned for breaking Reddit’s content policy
- Reddit moderators, like the creators of idividual subreddits, are all volunteers with no official relationship to the site’s staff
The idea of power and dominance is clear to see here in this article as we see that the power always lies with the institution. Mediators allow content to be mediated online and easily removed or blocked which shows that the internet and social networking sites do not allow a democratic space to be present as the content can easily be removed.
