10k still wouldn't be wholesale. they've got hundreds of millions of users and tens of thousands of subreddits. Even if the bast majority of the accounts and sites that are banned are right-leaning, it still wouldn't be a wholesale banning of certain beliefs and/or opinions.Unconfirmed reports say reddit could be banning up to 10k accounts and sites. Now Twitch. It's reasonable, based on what's happening that Facebook and Twitter will be next.
But I'm not going to really argue this, I think people who complain about how private platforms manage their platforms without ever referencing the rules that those platforms operate under aren't really paying attention to the specifics of the event. Rather, they see an outcome, see a correlation, and then scream causation at the top of their lungs.
Rather than "they're censuring right-wing positions", are you saying that Reddit's claim that these various subreddits and/or users kept violating rules despite attempts to talk to them isn't true?
Admittedly, I side with the platform there because we see enough repeat offenders on this site that I'm pretty comfortable saying that the problem users rarely respond to polite requests to stop doing whatever problem behavior they're doing.
