Ethan Klein declares war on r/Fauxmoi. But can a subreddit even be sued?

Ethan Klein, a YouTuber with millions of subscribers, accused the subreddit r/Fauxmoi of defamation after it discussed his alleged problematic behavior. The subreddit, inspired by Deuxmoi, initially responded to Hila Klein's Instagram story about a cancelled collaboration. Ethan Klein reacted strongly, comparing the subreddit to a neo-Nazi forum and issuing veiled threats on a livestream. He claimed widespread harassment and a "hate campaign" against him and his wife. The subreddit's moderators faced severe harassment and doxxing, forcing some to delete their accounts. One moderator explained the different responses to criticism based on public reputation and the nature of the influencer's content. Legal questions arise regarding Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and potential lawsuits against the subreddit. The situation highlights the complexities of online defamation and free speech. The impact on online discourse and the right to share information remains uncertain. The legal implications of this conflict are yet to be fully determined.
