    I honestly think this is an unfair response to call them "spineless." It was this or lose a majority of their Russian users. Reddit doesn't want that, but neither does their users. It's a move that benefits them both, perhaps the users more than Reddit even because obviously a single person losing access to a frequented site is much more impactful to that person than it is for Reddit to lose a small percentage of their users.

      Censorship is still a bad thing however. For any reason.

        So you'd rather Reddit not engage in selective censorship so they can be blanket censored by a government?
