Social media posts claim that discussion platform Reddit shut down the “wallstreetbets” forum responsible for driving a spike in the stock prices of companies including GameStop. But the forum is still active, and a Reddit representative said it was not closed but rather set to private by its moderators to manage a surge in traffic.
Every subreddit has its own rules or guidelines in terms of how they want to run their community. Some places don’t care about what things are posted and some have stricter guidelines.
