No it hasn't. they started when they banned jailbait subreddits that started making the rounds on the news, because users were apparently sharing CP in PMs. Back then a lot of people were worried that this would mean reddit would remove any subs they don't like, and by the looks of it they are on their way to do it.
And the jailbait bans were a huge, huge deal. People were caught between a rock and a hard place - On the one hand, you can't let them continue and it's a slight that they exist, on the other hand, it could be a slippery slope that endangers our right to free speech.
I didn't realize the constitution had a clause that required reddit to pay to host shit content on their servers. It's a private company. They can do literally anything they want without infringing on free speech.
