Reddit banned Paul McCartney over phone-free concert photos post in their subreddit (piunikaweb.com)

Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

I kinda want Section 230 to be revoked so the dam can break on "wrongful ban" class actions.

Nobody knows yet what triggered the ban. It could have been an automatic system, a moderator decision, or even some glitch with account verification. Reddit has not said a word about it.

Serially online people have their sense of time unbelievably warped and broken. Why does it matter that pictures from a concert were delayed by a few hours or days? It’s just some fun pictures of a concert.

What if the pictures really were of something bad/private? Isn’t it better that they got taken down to protect the innocent until a human can take a look?
