The reason is because we consider ourselves not just a company running a website where one can post links and discuss them, but the government of a new type of community. The role and responsibility of a government differs from that of a private corporation, in that it exercises restraint in the usage of its powers.

That was what the reddit ceo said in his blog post. I didn't make it up, although it does sound incredibly stupid, and it's really badly worded.
