That doesn't mean I or you should deny other people's right to talk and discuss matters even if we don't agree with them.
Reddit pushing people off it's platform doesn't prevent these individuals from discussing these topics, it just tells them they need to do so somewhere else.
Imagine you run a barber shop and a group walks in talking about COVID misinformation. It's perfectly fine to tell them to either stop talking about that or leave the shop. A business owner has to look out for it's image and the activities that occur within it's four walls.
Yes, Reddit is quite different than a single barber shop but the point still stands about private businesses regulating what actions can occur on their services. Reddit isn't the government so individuals' rights have absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.
