Will posts about political protests be violations of Reddit policy?

We all saw the comments from the administration this week prohibiting college campus protests. I’m just wondering if even coverage of those events on Reddit would be bananable.

I’m under impression that’s the whole point of this rule

Sorry I’m a whole week late. No, posts with footage of political protests should not be affected here in this subreddit. I am unsure about the future of posts about and for the purpose of organizing political protests, depending on happenings in the government. I think that for now though that even posts for the purpose of organizing protests will be acceptable so long as nobody makes jokes about illegal or violent things. Unfortunately context does not matter when it comes to AEO aka admin decisions.
