The deletion comes in the wake of Reddit’s recently updated, stricter content policy, according to The Verge. “That is when the ban hammer comes down.” “These communities are not abiding by those rules and are in fact tipping over to the glorification of violence or celebrating violence,” the insider told the outlet. The reason for r/watchpeopledie’s complete ban has a lot to do with its handling of the disturbing material, the source explained. Those materials have been removed entirely across the site, according to the source.
“Subreddits that fail to adhere to those site-wide rules will be banned.”Ī company source confirmed to the outlet that when communities on the platform encourage posting either video clips of the horrific attack - or alleged shooter Brenton Torrent’s rambling manifesto - they will be banned. “We are very clear in our site terms of service that posting content that incites or glorifies violence will get users and communities banned from Reddit,” a spokesperson said. The company explained the shutdown in a statement issued to The Verge. Users who try to visit the r/watchpeopledie subreddit Friday afternoon are met with the message, “This subreddit has been banned for violations of our Content Policy, specifically our policy against glorifying or encouraging violence.” The popular aggregation website Reddit shut down its notorious “Watch People Die” page Friday - after it re-hosted disturbing videos of the New Zealand mosque massacre.
