Reddit’s QAnon ban points to how it’s tracking toxic communities
Reddit has finally banned r/greatawakening, the main QAnon subreddit – and then it banned /r/The_GreatAwakening, the backup subreddit where users fled. QAnon, the web of conspiracy theories – which involve Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and politicians and government officials stretching all the way back to Kennedy era – originated on 4chan through Q, an anonymous person purporting to have a high-level security clearance, then quickly spread to Reddit, Facebook, and eventually offline.

It was taken down for content policy violations, Reddit said.
CONTENT VIOLATIONS?
STAY STRONG.
STAY TOGETHER.
CENSORSHIP WILL FAIL.
THOSE THEY ATTACK THE MOST ARE THE BIGGEST THREAT.
EXPECT TWITTER/FB FORCE NEXT.
