Reddit bans subreddits after Elon Musk reports violent threats against employees

Reddit has banned the r/WhitePeopleTwitter subreddit for 72 hours and permanently removed r/IsElonDeadYet. This follows Elon Musk's complaint about violent comments targeting his employees, which he claimed violated the law. The actions were taken after users on r/WhitePeopleTwitter called for violence against staff from Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Reddit stated that threats and doxing are not allowed on its platform. Tensions have risen between Musk and Reddit users, with over 100 subreddits protesting by banning links to X. This follows Musk's controversial gesture at a rally, which some interpreted as resembling a Nazi salute.
