View submission: COVID denialism and policy clarifications
Reddit didn't want to ban NNN for life-threatening misinformation because if they did so they would create a precedent that they would be unwilling to enforce. Fairly enforcing such a rules against misinformation world require banning subs like /r/conservative (which peddles covid misinformation just as dangerous as NNN), and would create a shit storm that the admins don't have the desire nor the backbone to manage.

If reddit banned r/conservative then at least it would be confirmed what we already know, that reddit is a very left leaning site that doesn't actually care about "exploring unpopular ideas".
