Reddit has temporarily banned the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter for 72 hours due to "a prevalence of violent content." This action follows complaints from Elon Musk regarding discussions about individuals linked to him and their roles in federal government systems. The ban comes after an account on X shared screenshots from r/WhitePeopleTwitter, which included violent comments. Reddit also permanently banned another subreddit, r/IsElonDeadYet, for similar violations of its rules against violent content. Musk has faced growing frustration from Reddit users, especially after his controversial actions and statements. Many subreddits have recently restricted links to X in response to his behavior.
