The thin veneer of deniability that it's not Admin themselves acting unilaterally to sabotage protest actions.
Sure, they can. But they're also trying to posture like they "wouldn't" do that. Reddit is wanting to present themselves to users and to the press as if they're being noble and reasonable and definitely support the right of protestors to protest, they want the optics of being a platform that supports autonomy for their communities and members in that way.
If they're openly going around interfering and telling everyone upset to pound sand, they're buying more terrible press.
