The "power" to ban people isn't up for debate, though. Reddit have that power, whether they exercise it or not. If they did not exercise it today, it could still be inherited and abused by a future actor tomorrow. There may be arguments about how to change that, but arguing Reddit should not ban users for their speech would not be one of them.

Further, it's hard to imagine a world where websites cannot ban users. Reddit's "power" extends over their own property and who they admit to it, I can't imagine it being possible to run a website without that "power" - how would you deal with spammers and so on? How could you possibly compel a website to admit all people whether they want to or not?
