REDDIT REVOLTS
AFTER MODERATORS DELETE UNITED AIRLINES VIDEO
......................................................................................................................................
Monday, the moderators of /r/videos deleted a viral video that showed doctor David Dao violently dragged off an overbooked flight from Chicago to Louisville. The video was quickly upvoted on the /r/videos subreddit, which has more than 15 million subscribers and often shows up on Reddit’s front page. But moderators of the subreddit determined that the video violated a rule banning videos that show “police brutality or harassment” and “videos of assault/battery.”
The removal of one of the most-discussed videos in recent memory didn’t sit well with Redditors, who began flooding the subreddit with videos of the aftermath of Dao’s assault that didn’t violate those two rules.
