Reddit is neither a public forum or a public utility.

Oh really? Then they're a publisher. And they're liable.

They/you can't have it both ways.

Ask yourself this. Can AT&T listen in on your landline phone calls and turn off your service if they don't like what you say? Can they do that?

If not, why not?

How is reddit different?

Once you answer those questions, then explain why reddit is allowed to have freedom from liability just like AT&T.
