In the wake of the mosque shootings which took place in Christchurch, New Zealand, aggregation and discussion website Reddit has decided to ban two popular subreddits — categories or subsidiary threads — due to inappropriate content.
As a result, Reddit chose to remove the /r/watchpeopledie and /r/gore subreddits. While these subreddits have existed for years, they have come under fire by critics and Redditors alike, as members on both subreddits have been known to share extremely graphic and violent material.
In a statement, a Reddit spokesperson explained the decision to ban the two subreddits.
