FWIW I've heard that it's basically been leaked by some within Reddit that the only reason some of its most vile subreddits are still up (such as probably the worst of the worst: r/Physical_Removal) is because the FBI has asked Reddit not to take them down and is asking for info on various posters on them.
You heard wrong. Banned today.
Now that's some delightful news!
Though perhaps not too shocking after one of the mods was banned after posting something that amounted to death threats against the Charlottesville PD, so an FBI visit might be in order as well.
But not too shocking it would go down after effectively becoming a subreddit dedicated to praising the Charlottesville car attack and mocking the victim.
