We call upon Reddit to take action against the rampant Covid-19 misinformation on their website.

To all the people bitching about this not being related to Android TV, that's not the point. Consider this is a meta-update about the rules on the sub, making it clear about what kind of content will not be tolerated in this sub. It has as much to do with Android TV as a post saying "no spam posts" or any other rule-related post.

So if someone does find a topic that mixes Android TV and COVID, and they spew misinformation, their ass is out of here. If there aren't going to be any posts that mix those topics, then they have nothing to worry about, and no reason to bitch and moan.

100% unrelated to Android TV. Doesn't belong here.

How are there only 2 positive top level comments in reaction to this and the rest are complaining? It's sad to see how many have been duped and could possibly think this is not a good thing, great job for participating.

This shouldn't be on this subreddit. It has absolutely no relation to the topic. Asking Mods to remove due to irrelevance. This post violates Rule #3.

Censorship is never the answer and it can lead to a very slippery slope. If Reddit starts to censor certain messages about Covid, what are they going to censor next and when will they get around to censoring you too?

It should be up to the reader to decide what to believe and what is bad information.

Reddit have already made their (despicable) decision.

They have decided they aren't going to do anything and the reason they have decided that is because they're scared people will leave if they do, but they KNOW people won't leave if they don't.

They're disgusting human beings that only care about money.

Wrong subreddit dude. And Reddit does plenty of censorship, CTFO. Try mentioning the name of the previous US president and watch yourself get automoderated into oblivion 😂

I understand, but sometimes well meaning censorship can turn into a slippery slope. How long until Reddit is called on to censor your messages?

Wow, this is definitely a post about Android TV.

Read this guys, it's literally the most important thing.

We demand that Reddit ban all those who disagree with the cathedral's Covid-19 opinions on their website.

FTFY.

The ability to give free awards to posts within subreddits that you moderate has clearly been very useful in this case, hasn't it? Utterly unsurprising that the internet hall-monitors would be happy with exerting more controls on other people.

This has nothing to do with android and let's keep politics to a minimum.

I say we remove the antivaxer nonsense and the provax nonsense too.

Let's bring back Reddit when it was just mindless topics and videos of people dying and let's bring back r/strugglefucking.

Imagine telling the mods of a sub that they are breaking the rules of their own sub.

This is impacting people globally, it's awesome to see so many subs getting on board with this.

Mods you suck. Badly.
