[ WP ] TIFU by getting reddit banned in the USA

I would wake up and the first thing i would do I make some coffee and browse reddit. 
 
 In a matter of minutes I would digest all the newsworthy events and discussions, I would be informed and up to date with what was happening in day to day events. If I'm being honest, it was a bit too convenient, having every important piece of information at my finger tips, in a matter of minutes, my opinions would sway, i perspective would broaden, hell I might even learn something! 
 
 I did n't even need to log on and i would be blasted with all the top stories of new, worldnews, politics... the list goes on and on. If the reddit demographic did n't approve of something, they would hound the perpetrators/website owners/whoever the fuck was the target of interest. Think about that guy with his porsche and how he vented on the internet about his hassles with his locale dealership. The internet/Reddit catches wind of it and boom, their facebook page is bombed with complains, wise and witty comments. The following day the same man goes on a limb to correct his previous comments and so it seems Porsche 
 has had a change of heart. Bullshit. 
 
 That was the first time I grew to respect the power of the internet. If you give spark a fire in people about a certain issue and give them the means to coordinate and speak directly to those who they pissed off, results will follow. Its because that's what the internet is, a mean of communication, a proverbial microphone for those whose opinion do n't carry enough clout. 
 
 And so we're led to this point: `` Good things do n't last when everyone knows about them.'' 
 
 I first noticed the changes around may of 2014. The default subreddit list had changed, suddenly I was n't getting my daily dosage of worldly insight into the real struggles of the world, i was only staring at bad photoshop and creepy pictures. I noticed one thing in particular, upon mixin up the default list, reddit had omitted r/politics from the default page. 
 
 This was around the time that the internet was going crazy over Net Neutrality Laws. A post hovered into the front page and soon enough people were up in arms, there pitch forks ready, they were making phone call to their representatives, coordinating protests, people were communicating and discussing something that would affect them directly. Every time a new clone of whatever Net Neutrality law would try and sneak its way into congress, reddit would strike. As far as we could tell, the then director of the fcc even went a full 180 on his previous stance on net neutrality. 
 
 Reddit had mustered its forces and successfully swayed the course of intended action.
