I got wrongfully reported and then wrongfully accused, if that’s not bad enough my account got permanently ban for having multiple accounts, i have only one account. Anyway, reddit are misusing their power of permanent ban, permanently banning people left and right for the most ridiculous reasons, as if there are no other social sites, the only reason im using it right now is because everyone else use it. I think the creators and the mods are nothing but attention seeking, drama seeking waste of oxygen, can someone beat up and the creators real bad? especially the guy who dare show his face in youtube. Reddit is not the heart of the internet it’s a self proclaimed title, they insert themselves in the internet and force themselves on google search page, is there a way to atleast removed them from google search?

    Is there a way to make reddit illegal? and put the creators to jail?

    I mean, hypothetically you could have a law passed to make anything you want illegal. I won’t speak as to the practicality of that in your particular case, but it’s theoretically possible.

    However, wherever you are, it’s likely not permissible under its constitution or treaties to make a law to make someone’s legal actions illegal after they have done whatever it is so that you can punish them for actions that were legal at the time of the action; this is an ex post facto law, and are often one of the things that legal systems don’t accept.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_post_facto_law

    An ex post facto law[1] is a law that retrospectively changes the legal consequences or status of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law. In criminal law, it may criminalize actions that were legal when committed; it may aggravate a crime by bringing it into a more severe category than it was in when it was committed; it may change the punishment prescribed for a crime, as by adding new penalties or extending sentences; it may extend the statute of limitations; or it may alter the rules of evidence in order to make conviction for a crime likelier than it would have been when the deed was committed.

    Some common-law jurisdictions do not permit retroactive criminal legislation, though new precedent generally applies to events that occurred before the judicial decision. Some countries, such as the United States, explicitly forbid ex post facto laws in their constitution. In some nations that follow the Westminster system of government, ex post facto laws may be possible, because the doctrine of parliamentary supremacy allows Parliament to pass any law it wishes, within legal constraints.[clarification needed][citation needed] In a nation with an entrenched bill of rights or a written constitution, ex post facto legislation may be prohibited or allowed, and this provision may be general or specific.

    Ex post facto criminalization is prohibited by Article 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 15(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,[3] and Article 9 of the American Convention on Human Rights.[4]
