View submission: Sunsetting Secret Santa and Reddit Gifts
probably a liability issue. "hey we're facilitating this, what happens if some crime is committed, someone gets stalked, etc"
So, remember when that one sub helped organize a Nazi rally? The one where a woman was killed when one of the participants ran her over with his car?
The admins kept that sub around for years after that.

That sub didn't organize the rally. It was organized by other people, a user just posted about it asking people to come and support the rally.
And it wasn't organized as a nazi rally, it was a rally to defend some statues. The user posted that they didn't support everyone who would be there, but that the reason it was called “unite the right” was because the goal was to get people regardless of their views to come together to defend the statues.
And the guy that ran over that woman wasn't a user of the subreddit, so you can hardly blame them for his action.
