It has everything to do with censorship. This sets a precedent in which a community can be banned by admins and moderators who deem a community to fall outside of their viewing needs.
This is controlling the narrative which we know LW cannot be held legally liable for what is posted on the web, otherwise we'd see search engines being shutdown for caching results.
