Reddit has [closed two major alt-right subreddits](https://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2017/02/02/reddit-drops-the-ban-hammer-on-popular-alt-right-subreddits/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> Reddit today blocked two prominent alt-right subreddits over “the proliferation of personal and confidential information.” Commonly referred to as ‘doxing,’ it appears a user (or users) of r/altright and r/AlternativeRight intentionally disseminated personal information of the man believed to have punched alt-right mouthpiece Richard Spencer.

It’s worth noting that the ban wasn’t implemented because of the posters’ politics, it was because of their *actions*. And that’s as it should be.
