Pokémon Go subreddit goes private to protest Reddit’s inaction toward spread of misinformation related to COVID

The Pokémon Go subreddit has switched itself to private in the wake of the spread of COVID-19 misinformation and Reddit’s lackluster response. When pandemic discussions increased on the subreddit, users from conspiracy-minded subreddits like NoNewNormal and (the aptly-named) Conspiracy entered the conversation, turning the discussion away from Pokémon Go and toward false information about the virus, vaccines, and the pandemic as a whole, Kotaku reports. As a result of this increase in conspiracy theories and incorrect information, the Pokémon Go subreddit turned itself to private in protest. They’re calling for
